This guy π goes to work every day with a smile on his face, and although he comes home exhausted, he is still smiling & satisfied with the work he provides to his clients. Career satisfaction is SO important. Every day is a new & different challenge , Eric chose the trades immediately out of high school . He wouldn't have liked working for anyone but himself. Has it been an easy road being self employed? Absolutely not, but it's been a road worth traveling. Families, guidance counselors, PLEASE promote the trades as much as you promote college!! Skilled labor is a dying art, yet never more in demand. If you promote the trades to your children as a road to business ownership & financial success, I bet a lot more kids would consider taking the leap!! Getting in to Electrical, Carpentry, HVAC, plumbing, welding, machine mechanics, etc presents tons of room for growth in their careers, zero college debt and is a path worth encouraging rather than viewing that path as a fall back because maybe they never succeeded in a shool setting. I'll just say, that if our children follow in Eric's footsteps one day, we would be so proud & we would know that we did something right! ππ‘β‘οΈ.
