There was a time I was making furniture as a full-time job while I was also working at The Cheesecake Shop part-time on evenings and weekends. I overworked myself too much, got a very nasty injury out of it, collapsed a couple of times one day in immense pain for prolonged periods of time and then had to go to hospital to get it sorted out. Let's just say that I've been punched in the balls before, and this was worse. I quit The Cheesecake Shop after that. This is when I was 17/18 years old, saving up money for my overseas trip.
I'd probably have been alright doing that much work if it wasn't for the physical aspects (neither job allowed me to sit down and the furniture shop involved a lot of heavy lifting, heavy machinery and general manual labour - eg. sanding down facings all day some days).
