My Dad was a merchant marine, when he finished that he went on to work in restaurants, nearly 50 years. He worked every day until he died in his late 70s. Dad was a very hard working man. Typically worked breakfast, lunch, and dinner. His work ethic was incredible.
Dad preached to me most every day as a teen to stay away from two professions:
Working in a restaurant and sales.
His thought was the restaurant business was thankless. Work every night, weekend and holiday. Put up with some not so nice customers..... he preached non-stop to never work in a restaurant.
Dad also was powerfully persuasive to never be in sales. His thought was anyone can sell, and no job security, no matter how good one was at sales. Not sure I technically agree with his views on this, but I understand where he was coming from.
Any professions your Dad told you sternly to stay away from?
