I know a guy who was a broker on Wall Street throughout the 80's and 90's... He retired to take over the family farm, the sort of thing a lot of his peers wanted to do, and after 10 years of working non-stop to almost-not-quite break-even he's almost ready to sell it.

He says that he had no idea how much harder than working on Wall Street it would be. He's got to know everything about the domain, he's got to know accounting, sales, marketing, and just about every other aspect of running a business and it is exhausting for such small potential gains.
