I actually came very close to becoming a bricklayer. My father-in-law was a brick mason, and taught me the trade. But he also encouraged me to finish college. I ended up becoming a software engineer. I think I would have enjoyed the work, but I am sure it would have been a lot harder on my body over the years.

Boots were made for walking
Winds were blowing change
