Keith, I left the business to start taking over the family business. I don't regret it, other than I wish I would have done it right out of high school. The time was prime and our industry was booming. Now, I have calls from employees about customers giving them a hard time over a $150 bill. Shit's tough now. I'd stick with what I knew I could make money and provide for my family.
If I did it again, I would have followed my dream of being a police officer or fire-fighter.
