I would do the same exact thing, I would have just told myself to start my business by 30 instead of 40.

The Navy. It’s relatively untouched by the enemy, great benefits and I’d be on 100% disability due to headaches and needing contacts in addition to my Navy retirement by now. I talk to way too many former military folks who are on total disability due to common stuff everyone has and they are making $70k a year just sitting back collecting disability and retirement at age 40. Ridiculous but it makes me jealous

I would be a Home builder contractor.

I actually enjoy doing contractor jobs around my house and project managing. I self contracted my house build years ago and actually enjoyed the process.

but I do enjoy what I do as well so who knows.

I probably would have went medical field.

Some of these variations of nurses get paid doctor money now.

You could have a 4 day work week and make 100k+ with extreme stability.

I like what I do but the deadlines and constant issues in building can be ridiculously stressful and it never turns off. I was suppose to have set of trusses drop yesterday on this job and they got delayed a week. So I spend the next 3 hours at home trying to reschedule all of my trades to still hit the closing date.

I was still working and my kids went to bed. I bet nurses are coming home checking charts and shite.

This. My old man told me to become a plumber after high school. I regret not listening.

If I could go back in time I would stay my 20-30 in the military. Would have retired by 38 (or 48 if I did 30). Either way it would have been a young retirement. Plus I would have been around my boys everyday.

Same thing, just went to trade school 8 years prior at 19 when my mom tried to help me get going. I did learn a lot of life skills in those 8 years though. I would’ve also went back to school sooner than 2 years ago

Every home builder I know lives job to job and pays for the current with cash flow from the next. When something happens most can’t pay subs to finish current.
