There's a lot to be said for doing the work and getting paid.. Not dealing with the office crap.. There's also a lot to ba said for knowing you could quit if you want to.. When I owned my junkyard it seemed like all I did was push paper and deal with employee issues.. I got to where I missed pulling parts in the field and going home at 5 oclock.. All that being said it can be rewarding to know you own the place..It is possible to take a beloved hobby, turn it into a "job" and make it not so fun.
