I am struggling to determine what my occupation actually is.
Started as an apprentice carpenter, then move onto contracting, that rolls into being a builder lots of staff etc. Then you wake up one morning and decide that this is not what you want to do for the rest of your life. You just want to go back to the stress free life and just work by yourself. Then you forget that wanted a stress free life, so you decide to expand your business, then it just expands and expands and your back to doing way to many hours a week. All that said the one thing that has not changed since the first time I saw a cobra when I was 14, was that I knew that at some stage in my life I was going to own one.
I had to wait till I was 46 till I finally get one, then another six years till I finished it. (actually I don't think they are ever finished they are always a work in progress). I don't think it matters what you do for a job. If you have a realistic passion for something, you will a find a way to get it. Having said all that I am happy to work the hours that I do (as we all do to enable us to finance our dreams) but you know when you take your cobra for a drive you know it has all been worth it.
