Hes done just about everything, hes been an engineer for the atomic bomb tests in the Pacific, hes a licenced electrician, hes licenced for hazardous waste cleanup, hes an expert on computers, hes been a teacher, dealt in real estate, he had some kind of a construction business in Viet Nam, He writes books on Mormon history, He had a business scrapping ships in San Francisco, he can speak several languages including ancient Aztec, plus hes an auto mechanic. That is what I would call a well-rounded life. If I could do a tenth of the things he has done I would be happy.
Sounds like an amazingly motivated man. A little bit of everything, I like that. I have so many things I want to do and careers are one thing I'm hard to back off from when I get my mind set on it but once I accomplish it I'm ready for the next thing. Hoping I end up like your brother in law and have so many things in my belt by the time my time comes so I can have the accomplishment of a life well done feeling.

Thats good Laci. Youre young and seem to be a very intelligent person, you should make it. I wish you luck.
