I got bored, with all of the down time between cashing rent checks and fixing toilets at 2AM so I went to graduate school and also became a an engineering consultant.About 10 years later I took a full time job again and am now a professor in manufacturing engineering, own a virtual manufacturing company, a media production company, and because of real estate investing, this year I will donate more than my take home pay back to the university I work for.I can honestly say that I retired at 26.
