Do you think that there wasn't plenty of unskilled labor jobs available in Dallas?
According to Ruth Paine...it was Marina's idea for Oswald to return to his birthplace...but it was decided at the last minute that Marina would not accompany him.

The only lake close by would be or must have been Lake Cliff. She said that Oswald went fishing apparently ignoring everyone else.
There may be or have been some perch in this small area lake but where did Oswald obtain a fishing pole and gear? Fishing equipment was not claimed to have been found in the items searched at the Paine house or ever in possession of the Oswalds or the Paines. She also stated that Oswald caught a fish and expected someone else to clean and cook it.
Paine further testified that Oswald had packed all of his stuff for the venture to New Orleans.
Isn't it usual for someone to just pack an AWOL bag...go find work and a place to live and then come get their belongings?
To hear Mrs Paine's statements...you would think that she was just his taxi everywhere--and asked no questions.
