    It can be very difficult to take a hobby and turn it into a career. I grew up loving computers, while my friends were partying in high school, I was usually messing around with some code, learning how things worked. It was fun. Fast forward 10 years later, I work as a full time software developer for a telecommunications company. I used to love coming home and writing a useful application of some kind. I can't do it anymore. It's just become way to monotonous to sit in front of a computer all the time. I don't like my hobby anymore.

    It was certainly one of my dream jobs and it was awesome.
    The very existence of flame-throwers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, "You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done." -unknown

    Well at least you got a chance to try it for a while, so now you know what it's like.
    There's only two kinds of cigars, the kind you like and the kind you don't.

    Man, I wish your B&M was close to where I lived. I wouldn't mind doing that part-time just to learn more about the cigar business and earn a few extra bucks on the side. At least it was an experience you had the pleasure of doing. Don't worry, when you have more time later in life, who knows, you may get a chance to do it again.
