    I would work that many hours a week as long as I got paid +$1 million a year. Otherwise, it would just make more sense to start my own business.

      If you’re going to work that hard to make some rich guy richer, why wouldn’t you do that for yourself?

      I had that revelation 30 years ago, and I’ve been mostly self-employed since. Even in those times when I wasn’t, I was still working for my own benefit, not anyone else’s. Those jobs didn’t last long. I can only work for myself. I’m a good boss, I get away with everything.

        That’s a good question, what do you suggest I research to find out what to do for myself? I’m thinking about starting my own recycling business in the future, but that’s about it.

          Start reading about business, and start thinking about a micro business you can start with very little money, and start doing it. Never forget that the ONLY goal is to make a profit, because that is your income.
