I don't knock anyone's hustle,you gotta do what you gotta do to get the money you need to make it..point blank.
In my short life,i've already worn many hats,but never found the right fit until recently with current career,one day though,my ultimate goal is to own my own business as well,as i've been managing other people's,and taking hefty responsibilities in them since i was about 19 when i was first assigned as Crew Leader over 2 other guys.
Lately though my responsibilities involve a lot more liability,but i can also pretty much name my price because i have a natural talent for what i do,and because i was supposed to be an Engineer,i can usually pretty much figure out most jobs,and improve efficiency to a marginal degree in order to set the pace for that raise i'll be getting later. When i have to work with other people,i look at things much differently than most,even when i was a "Laborer"..I looked at myself as a commodity,The Talent,as a contractor providing a service for a price,and as such i always have a price that i must get before i'll even agree to get started with a job...I used to jokingly tell my mom,if i hadn't become a dub,i would have probably been a Hitman,lmao..she didn't think it was funny though:P
But all in all Flip,you do what works for you man..the bills will only come in your name,not the names of any detractors who might try and trash what you do for a living,lol-KS
