Self Employed???

My Dad was self employed, he owned what was probably the first continuous ran gutter business in NJ. It was obviously seasonal so if I wanted to spend time with him during the nice months I had to be the co-pilot when he was out giving estimates. My mother did all the paper work for him so his "job" was still M-F 9-5. I worked at a couple of places over the years that were just getting started. My boss worked 6 days a week, no vacation for several years & was getting slaughtered by the need for health insurance, 3 kids. After 12 years or so he got a fiar offer & took off, going back to being an employee some where else....Good Luck with your decision...
