[QUOTE="Rafter S, post: 1429450, member: 21194"] I did manual labor most of my life, but had a chance to move inside to sit behind a desk (and make more money) 8 years ago, when I was 48. I took it and haven't looked back. Being out in the heat and cold was getting to where it wasn't as much fun as it had been when I was younger, and I can keep doing what I'm doing now indefinitely. I don't hesitate to tell young people that not getting a degree was the biggest mistake I ever made in my life. And for that young man that talks about "money not owning him", I don't think for a minute that money owns me, but making more of it would certainly have allowed me to better care for my wife and children if I had gotten that degree, or learned a trade that would have allowed me to make good money. (I have a friend that owns a plumbing company. He jokes that he used to be a doctor, but it didn't pay enough.) [/QUOTE]
