My dad had a different philosophy. he grew up in Brooklyn, NY IN THE 20’s & 30’s and worked (including the Army during WW2 & putting himself thru college) every day until he passed away. I wanted to get a job burning high school and he didn’t want me to. He told me, “You are going to be working the rest of your life. I want you to enjoy being young.”
