I worked growing up rather than playing sports. I started working for my dad at 12 in his restaurant cleaning up dirty tables...."Bus Boy". That taught me real fast the following things:
One day I won't be young and energetic. Like my grandpa, one day someone will have to take care of me because I can't take care of myself. I don't find mundane jobs interesting. I want more out of my life. I want too go to work for a company that has endless opportunities. So at 18 I signed up for the draft and the same day went across town (Houston, Tx.) and joined the USAF. I got what I wanted there (the USAF is a company of sorts) and also learned what it was like to have medical facilities and be able to retire after 20 years (if you can survive) and at 38 be able to go off and do something else. Got married and we had 4 kids while there; one spent more time in the hospital than he did with us.
While maturing during the 9 years of working for Sam, I learned that I wanted:
A garage with a concrete floor so that I could get a floor jack to roll under my car and jack it up so that I could change the oil rolling on a creeper. A no-tie, no white shirt, professional job An 8 to 5, 5 day a week job with a paid vacation (bills still accumulate). Not having to go to NYC if I moved up into a management position. Investment and retirement opportunities for when I am too old to work.
