I was actually kind of thinking on this subject earlier today when I saw an older retired gentleman that I know working as a school crossing guard.

I'm sure it provides him some extra income, but it can't be enough to make it worth while, so why would someone do it?

If I recall too, some of those guys (at least in FL), don't even get paid. It's like 95 degrees out sometimes, and I can't imagine why someone wouldn't pick a different way to volunteer (or make a few bucks).

I would kill to have this lifestyle as a career. Teach me your ways. I shall be your apprentice!

As for the job issue, if it was me and I didn't need...HELL NO...I would be too lazy, however...the job would definitely make your day feel more interesting.

But I would still kill to have that lifestyle permanently

Thanks man. I guess the best advice I can give is to never be afraid of failing, and always start small. I've had businesses of mine not turn out as well. I had an online Cigar store get crapped on by last minute changes in legislation saying online sales of cigars were illegal (after already getting licensing from the state saying it was ok). The site was literally days from launching and we had to shut it down. Also, I had a website featuring semi-nude punk rock chicks ( I kid you not). I decided to relinquish my partial ownership of it after some disagreements with the other investors. I did not want to go down the porn path, they did, and I called it quits. I can't believe I just posted this on the internet, but oh ****ing well.
