There are days I wished I had stayed in the Military. I miss parts of that, but then again there are parts of it I don't miss.
I worked for myself for a while and it was financially good, but horrible for my family life. All work and no play makes UCB a dull boy. It got to the point where my wife told me I had to decide which was more important, work or family.
I got a new job, which came with a 25% roll back in dollars. Now, 7 yrs later I am back up and above the salary I was making before.
There are days I hate work, there are days I love work. The variety is the positive thing.
At the end of the day, for me work is something that allows me to live life and do things I like. My current job allows me to coach my kids teams, when I go on vacation I don't work.
