[QUOTE="Cherd, post: 8622837, member: 24754"]Your situation sounds pretty similar to my brother's. I have a bachelor's degree, two master's degrees, and a PhD in engineering (was in college for a LONG time), while my little brother started a concrete sealing business out of high school. Now, he makes more than double what I make, and does it all as a 1-man operation while working 7-8 months out of the year. Doing this type of satisfying physical labor while being self-employed sounds like a dream come true. But, most people will not realize the discipline, dedication, and work ethic that is required to make this type of business truly successful. He might only work 7 months a year, but he manages to cram a year and a half worth of effort and hours into that time! I'm happy for your success, I'm sure you've earned it. Also, congrats on the fitness, unfortunately, this is another sacrifice that I've made with the cube job :(. But, like I've told my brother 1000 times, you should probably give up the yearly, deep tanning cycle and get into the routine of lathering yourself with sunscreen on a daily basis. If you spend unprotected time in the sun every day, then melanoma will come for you sooner or later :dead:.[/QUOTE]
