Im glad you are researching ideas and getting ideas from experienced people. A lot more than a lot of kids these days have, and you have goals, also a lot more than what most kids have.
He makes 350 which includes his taco bell, and roofing company, he is not making all that from being a CRNA. You could do the same thing, but it takes many years to gather the coin to start a franchise or a company. Dont expect to get out of college and start all those ventures right away. Chances are you will be married at some point so working 60-70hours a week and family doesnt mix. Take the numbers put out here for a good starting point. I have seen this job your are pursueing and talk to people just coming out of college. Expect to make 80-130k a year out of school. Which that is dang good boy, but its a lot different than 250k. Whatever you do not start making big financial decision until you have a sign sealed and delivered job offer. This economy is brutal, the last thing you need is to have a nice degree coming out of college, you dont have the job you expected or pay you expected and you have this 50k truck loan looming over your head. It would suck to get out with a nice degree and have a bankruptcy or a repo on your record. Just be smart and shoot for the stars, and dont cash checks you dont have.
Im not saying this job wont be there in 3 years but you dont know with this economy. As I said earlier fad jobs come and go, ask all these people with teaching degrees. And the way the government dinks with medical chit right now, you never know. Government could mandate wages or install some legislation that drives down salaries.
And biggest peice of advice I have is have a back up plan, and plan your life out at least 5 years ahead

Also be wise on choice of women. Dont get married to quick and dont have kids with girl friends. Both things can cost you in the long run and really ruin both of your careers. Looks matter and arent everything, dont choose somebody because they have nice clothes, a nice rack, or just because they make money, factor it all in.
