I enjoyed college and was fortunate enough to enjoy a good white collar career. But if I could do it all over again, I would have learned how to become a licensed electrician, plumber, etc.

    Ugh, I’m in the exact same situation, I can feel your pain. Seems to be a common theme.

    I actually bumped into a guy at the local pet store, and after a short chat he told me he was a developer at a big company and just couldn’t take it anymore. He quit and became a manager for the local pet store. He says he loves it. I’m envious lol.

      I always get the “are you really sure you would give up your current lifestyle for something like that?”. and the older I get, the more I think I think… yeah… I kinda do…
