I did get offered my dads building firm to run but I turned it down. I was 16 at the time(24 now) so with exams coming up and other things to look at. Looking back at it now, kind of wish I did take it up. I've got about 6 years of finance/tax background at the moment but no good without qualifications.

Had my own company for 20 years and supplied Orthopaedic bracing and equipment to the NHS,retired 4 years ago at 50 and now living the life of a playboy on a budget lol.Whilst I was working I had lot's of money and no time to spend it, now I have loads of time and no money to spend, but I get buy and I'm hardly starving to death.
Mind you after 5 wives, it's a wonder I got any mony left, at one time for a period of a few years I was having to pay 22 grand a year maintenance, fecking mental.
But with all the shit my daughter is having to go through, I have learnt the lesson that your health and the health of your loved ones is far more importnaat than any amount of money or wealth, would like to think I have a better take on what life is all about now and appreciate the simple things far more and no longer take things for granted.
Always take time to smell the roses whilst you have the chance.
