I see myself in those shoes, having to be dragged into retirement. The bulk of my work is social and isn’t really “work” and I get to spend my days making a shitload of money exerting influence over matters that effect everybody elses daily lives. But if I wasn’t doing that I’d be a cowboy. the point here is that you LOVE your job. Most of the guys that are working just for the benefits/retirement DONT. I love my job as well, I get to buy and sell cool shit, never have to buy retail, meet insanely hot women that come in and sell there shit and all I do is sit in my back room and either lay on the couch and watch movies or go on the computer until the door rings that someones coming in… If I wanna take off I take off, if I wanna sleep in I sleep in. If I wanna close up early I close up early. You GOTTA love what you do. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/career-choices-itt/262522)._
