Grass is always greener on the other side when you don't need to do the hard work of weeding, watering and fertilizing it. You would be surprise many of them want to take up the citizenship here. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got 'restructed' at 48 and restart my new career. It turns out to be a blessing in disguise. If I would have stayed, I can see there isn't anything to look forward.

I think if he cannot hold down regular jobs, this gig job is the best for him, better than sitting around at home or making everyone unhappy at work place. But 20 hrs a day is not realistic - 4hr of rest? 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But quite Sad After 3 generations. They might end up doing what my dad ( a farmer) is doing. 🙄 ↡ Advertisement 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
