I’ve been working since I was 14. Do you know anyone with 20 years experience before 40?

If we count babysitting, I've been working since 12 or 13. Got my first "real" job once it was legal at 16. Then I worked 40 hours a week to put myself through college while double majoring. I'm 35 now and the one month I took off for my honeymoon is the most time I've had off from work since I was a teenager. I'm feeling rough.
