assuming there is a family business of course, have you ever considered working at, or taking over for a parent/grand parent etc?

Yes, for 10 years.

While the pay was great, the job itself made me miserable. I now work at half the pay(if not less)than I used too, and i am 10000 times happier. dancing

My father started an automotive repair shop in 1965. I grew up working there after school and on weekends. I took over day to day operations in my early 20s and owned/operated it until I sold it in 2005. The 60 hour 5 1/2 to 6 day a weeks caught up to me after 16 years. I do not miss it at all.

What's the point in posting in this thread then?

That's like showing up at an AA meeting, saying you don't drink alcohol, then leaving.

Pointless.

Never been offered admittance since.

I may have an opportunity right now (it's a brand-new startup) but I don't think it's the right time for me -- we're about to start on something huge here at work that, if we pull it off right, will hopefully look amazing on my resume two years or so from now.
