Being the cynic....
I suspect a nice mediocre white collar carrer will bring greater rewards with little risk & none of the hassle of being self empployed in this industry ?
round here every village is now 30mph rather than the national speed limit they once was,
then we have the tame f'wits slowing or even braking for corners that I have recall as teenage tit as going around in the low 80's whilst fishing a tape casstte out the glove box....
