I am a independent contractor at a business doing database stuff. I don't hate the job, dislike the pay though, but I got a job I am ok with (and honestly, who doesn't dislike their pay?). I extremely disliked my previous ones which where in retail. I spent 5 years at 2 different retail businesses and while there where good days I just can't get over the fact that having no weekends and no nights just plain sucked. (lets not talk about working Black Friday & other holidays and "those" costumers, one of which [hopefully] permanently ended my retail career).
What would I do with 10 million in the bank? My wife and I would both quit. Done and done. I'd rather do what I really want to do and not worry about money.
