High Paid Babysitters

So, since I'm looking for work right now, I get to analyze what I want to do and what I've done. In this process I came across a funny thought.
I'm convinced contractors are the highest paid of babysitters.
Here is how the metaphor plays out-
- The kids play with their lincoln logs to build things.
- They cry when the other kid steals their lincoln logs. You have to regulate.
- You have to show them how to put the lincoln logs together sometimes.
- They get prescribed lunch breaks and sometimes nap times.
- You have to yell at them sometimes to tell them to clean up. Unless they're good.
- They are always better than you at something in the building process, so it's cool to sit back and watch.

So, if you like babysitting, but want to earn more $, look into being a general contractor.
