I worked about 12 years in the shop at a farm equipment dealership. I did everything from set-up and delivery, to lawn and garden, chainsaws, on up through combines. I even helped with parts inventory once. I enjoyed the variety. We did so much business in the end of the county where I live, that I was basically "on-call". I was the only one there other than the owner with a company vehicle. I was offered the "position" of shop foreman before I was 30. I had excellent relationships with the older guys in the shop. I eventually developed the opinion that I hadn't seen anyone who got dirty, working for someone else, end up with much more than a steady job and a home. That may be enough for some.

But I decided early on that I would rather work 12 hours a day for myself than 8 hours for someone else.
