    And after 5 solid minutes of looking into it...a paycut too. Screw a bunch of that...I'll keep doing what I like.

      Well, I started my dream job at a young age. After 31.5 years of fun and excitement , it was time for me to move on, so I retired.. I lasted about 6 months before I went to work for a HotRod shop... Its an awesome place to work. Best part is I don't need the money, so Im just having fun...I never expected I would take another job, much less get to work at this place..

        I achieved my lifelong goal at 32 and said "fuck that" currently figuring out bigger and better at 36. Just moved into a brand new home bigger than anything I have ever known before. It's amazing. Always push your limits.

            Thought I’d be a porn star. Instead I now give handjobs behind the the Liquor store for five dollars a pop. Not exactly the type of star I was thinking of.

                  Tell us. The bar stories. We know you've got some good ones. Quit holding out on us maaan!

                  Course you probably have and I just didn't see it. Then again you've probably got some you've yet to talk about. At least talk about how it was. Was it great? Was it shit? Worth the all the effort? How was the pay?

                      I really thought at one time I would sell propane and propane accessories, but now I am just a bank monkey with a VP title

                          Not even close.. I got a BS in networking, and about the time I was graduating decided I hated IP, the OSI model, and anything that went along with it. Limped through a lackluster job at IBM, freelanced doing fence repair and nonsense for a year or two, then got into working on LMR radio systems. 10 years later i'm still in the industry and wondering wtf i've done. the pay is great and i get to work from home, but there's no gratification in a grand sense. spec/build system, ship, get accepted, move on. whee.

                            I went to college four years, got degree, worked in that profession for nine months.

                            Been self employed 13 years this spring. No way I'd have another boss again in this life.

                              Other than not owning my own custom shop, I'm pretty much where I planned on.
