That's not what I want to do with my life. I want to be self-employed. I am gonna try to climb as high as I can here, but am always looking for a better job. As soon as I can save up the dosh to open my own business, I am going to.

I prefer hard work as well (my first job was clearing forested areas into camp sites at a horse camp), but I can't do that anymore with my ankle. I can barely do fast-food. That's why I want to be self-employed in a business where I can use my hands and not have to constantly be lifting, pulling, or pushing heavy things. lol
