You all have some inspired stories. Mine was a simple choice. I hated university and anything to do with it. I only started to enjoy anything involved with studying when I hit my apprenticeship. Best friends dad was manager of huge electrical company. He gave me the chance and I loved it. I was making a fist full of money while my other friends farted around in university. Now I run huge commercial jobs and love the responsibility. Could never picture myself sitting in a chair in a suit. Man I hate f*&^^N suits. Love puttin on the jeans and t shirt and going to work with the boys. Thank god my friends dad didn't work for a plumbing company.
