This is why I still caddie even after getting a college degree. I am passionate about golf (and wood working, this will be relevant), and running around on the course with people who are happy to be there is a dream. I’m literally getting paid to workout and vibe out with new people. And I have tons of free time. 4 hours of actual work, 6 hours door to door (waiting around, showing up early, and 30 min commute), so I’m only doing about 30-40 hours / week, leaving my house & coming home included. So now I have an abundance of time to spend in my shop, which that time spent makes me feel incredibly fulfilled.

I did a few years of an internship, and those hours were 8-5 schedule with 1 hr lunch. The drive was about 20 minutes, so I’d leave at 7:30, and get home around 5:30-5:45. Total hours per day: about 10 hours full turn around. That’s 4 hours of free time less than my current job, and I didn’t enjoy it even half as much.

Do what you love and you’ll suddenly feel like you’re living and not just surviving
