That same old boy booked himself and his wife the best cabin on the QE2.......I live for stuff like that. All the wealthiest blokes I know made their money in dirty jobs one way or the other ! Lol 30 years walking in and out of the same office every day for a wage that barely gets you by would be my idea of hell, f**k it, give me real people and feast and famine any day of the week. f**k I wish I had a like left!!

Start a business if you can cos its difficult to make proper money as a worker/ grafter. Too many People getting fat on your work if you are an employee. Perhaps the CEO grafted his way to that position... not everyone is built to be a boss, but not all bosses should employ people... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
