Be someone’s boss? But then they’d have a boss.
Solution: have a trade, work for yourself
Been going pretty well for me for a couple years now. I should hire a helper though, its becoming obvious how much I lose in time to doing helper work and I enjoy teaching
Edit: not the best advice in this case
I do have a trade. It’s software development lol
That’s all over now. What next??!

Yay!

Thanks. It could be a lot worse I guess.
