I am a small business owner. I will say this about that. Owning your own business is fullfilling in that the rewards are directly related and tied to the amount of work and dedication you are willing to put into it.

Education is great but most of the friends that I went to college with are not still working in the fields that they went to school for. I've been out for 20years now. Get your education because of the doors it will open for you.

Those are words of wisdom from a self-made man.

Great advice, Pete!!!...

My dad always said that if you are doing what you enjoy, that it isn't really work after all...the key is to find what you like and get paid to do it...
