Depends, but I wouldn’t bet on it. My dad owned a small contracting company, and while he took the odd afternoon off to take me to a movie or cool off when it got too hot, that was more than made up for by Saturday morning client meetings, after work lumber runs, and tons of behind the scenes planning. And even if you do make it to the point where contracting becomes “cushy” job, you’ve very likely destroyed your body while working to get there. I’ve occasionally dreamt of restarting his business and growing it, but then I spend an afternoon with him fixing a plumbing issue or doing drywall and I remember how good I’ve got it.
