I think you touched on some of it.. The older I get (43) now, the less patience I have for crap. Working in the college now has tested that and its harder and harder to bite my tongue with all of the entitlement going on around me.. On top of it, my boss, who I used to work with many years ago, does not let me be the supervisor and he as the director still wants to supervise the employees. That in itself is enough to have me keep looking, which I have never stopped looking.
I would love to be self employed, but I dont myself getting a business started (no idea what I would do) let alone it being financially good for the family. Ive been feeling trapped for some time now. I know what me and the wife want to do, but that is a huge risk and could lose everything, if it didnt work out.
