Worked for several firms in my time and frankly I found that most management types down here could not find their arse with both hands.

That may very well be.

Of the guys I grew up with less than 1/3 have ever had a job working for anybody. A couple of them went and got their real estate license which I thought was dumb as hell. They ended up handling all the transactions for a Fortune 500 company and complaining about paying $250,000 in income tax. Another guy borrowed a couple of thousand dollars and started buying and delivering mulch. He now has a dozen men working for him and who knows how much he has in big mulch making machinery and trucks. Another guy started out growing a few tomatoes and now he supplies every grocery chain in the area with squash, cabbage, water melons, tomatoes, okra, you name it.
Several guys have multiple commercial landscaping contracts. One got out of landscaping and opened a day care facility for kids.

And, I could go on.

Nobody says you have to go to work for the man. Matter of fact that is the best way I know of to limit yourself.

I forgot, one guy started an IT company and does contract work for companies who don't have anybody.

And, another guys sells, builds and installs computer systems for small businesses.

Those two might be more in line with what you could have done if you would have.
