Day jobs?

Hey guys! Hope everyone is staying warm with these freezing temps we've been experiencing! I know I'm not but that's my line of work! Construction!! 

Just wanted to ask you guys about day jobs vs spending time on your investments. My job allows me to work a "normal day" of 7a-330p which allows some extra time each day to be able to work on projects ( if I had any, still working on #1 ) and the occasional layoff I go through at the end of jobs, which is nice to catch up on stuff I couldn't when working. Anyhow, my question is how many had day jobs before jumping in with both feet into straight investing/ flipping? And how many still work at another job? I assume as with anything else, if you get busy and profitable enough you can make that leap which would be really nice sometime. Guess you could say that is my ultimate goal. My own boss, my own business, a sense of accomplishment, calling the shots and paving the road to my financial future! Ahh its nice to dream isn't it!? Well I want to make this a reality!
