Working at the age of 40 or making your own Fortune?

Many of us are very much afraid to lose a job since our jobs takes care of everything. Even me I started working when I was in HS. I had my own income during that time. I am offering typing and printing services so every time that I am free I see to it that I have a client and I'm doing something. I also make calling cards before and most of my clients were my classmate. After college, I also wanted to have a job ASAP. Since, call center was booming around year 2006 I applied for one. I also had a lot of regrets during my application but that didn't stop me. Finally, I was able to look for one and was in a call center industry for almost 6 years. But, what is really the essence of work? Is it for us to save money? Is it for a good future when you start on your own? A lot of you may say yes. They say life begins at 40. Are you still going to work when you are at that age? I have a lot of friends in the call center who works like a mad cow. They would render rest day OT and will not going to rest at all. On the next day, the are out since they are sick. That I made a realization. Recently, my call center friend called me and ask me where am I working. I said that I'm working online. She advised me that it's good that you resigned from the world of call center wherein you will work at night. She suggested me to go on a business training which she does because she is running her business right now. She's telling me that at the age of 27 she just wants to focus on her business. I asked her, what about your SSS? She told me, I can do my own fortune. I was really amazed since she was all work before. Now, I am thinking if I'm doing the right thing or I'm on the right path. I may have plans to get rich in the future but the only thing that matters now is I have work and I can support myself.
