In the United States, where we have more land than people, it is not at all difficult for people in good health, intelligence, and energy, to make money. In this comparatively new field there are so many avenues of success open, so many vocations which are not crowded, that any person of either sex who is willing, at least for the time being, to engage in any respectable occupation that offers, may find lucrative employment.
En Usono, kie ni havas pli da tero ol homoj, ĝi estas tute ne malfacila por homoj gajni monon, kiuj havas bonan sanon, inteligenton, kaj energion. En tiu relative nova kampo estas multaj vojoj de sukceso malfermitaj da okupoj, kiuj ne superplena, ke ajna persono de ajna sekso, kiu pretas, almenaŭ provizore, entrepreni ian ajn respektinda okupo, kiu proponas, povas trovi valoran postenon.

Inserted da
Ĝi isn't used in this way
Moved por homoj next to kiuj
Inserted ĉi
We would need superplenas but kiuj is unnecessary
"So many...that" requires tiom da...ke
Here, "offers" means "is available/reachable" so atingebla.
Valora is "valuable" in a more general sense[/list]

Ne, vi eraras. Mi perlaboras nur iom pli ol unu dolaron en tago (Tekstaro)
But gajni is also possible.
However, 'ĝi estas' in your translation is not appropriate - does not refer to a specific concrete thing. The structure you require is 'estas adverb .... infinitive.
Kaj ne estas malfacile antaŭvidi, ke nia espero (Tekstaro)
Actually, the first sentence of the English original text is not that well written.
'in good health, intelligence, and energy'. One does not say in good intelligence or in good energy'

In any case the normal preposition for 'in this field' (abstract) is 'sur'.
Precipe sur la kampo de sciencaj kaj fakaj vortoj ni trovas.. (Tekstaro)
'to engage in any respectable occupation that offers' -??? Offers what?

sudanglo:The structure you require is 'estas adverb .... infinitive.Thanks a million for the help.
I wish there was a website would force the user to create an acceptable structure. It would just be like putting words into slots. I could create perfect sentences with such a system.
I tried to write a python program that would identify all the possible structures in Alice in Wonderland. However, I quickly got overwhelmed with all the potential anomalies.

sudanglo:'In this comparatively new field' - field? What field? Shouldn't this be 'country'I think field means the concept of making money.
It is an old book.

Vestitor:It's an old book (from the Archive?). An early addition to the canon concerned with the American (pipe) dream. Personally I think it may be a wasted effort, but practise is practise.Yes, it is a very old book. I found it on gutenberg.
It might be a waste of effort. If you have a better idea then please don't hesitate to suggest it. Self-improvement is something of interest to me, so I thought the book was a good choice.
