Hello everyone!! My name is Michael, I live in a small town in Upper Michigan(U.S.A.). I have loved cars, all cars, ever since I was a young boy. Ferrari, Lamborghini(any exotic really), Chevrolet (Z06 Corvette), Chevy/GM musclecars, and streetrods/hotrods from the 1930's. I currently own a 2008 Z06 Corvette(because it's all I could afford). I work in a paper mill. We make paper for books and magazines.
I have an overwhelming desire to constantly better myself. I want more than anything to find a different career so that I can afford to buy the car(s) and have the lifestyle I have loved and dreamed about my entire life. I am just very unsure about which direction to go(I know, I should have thought of this years ago). I have thought about going back to school but, being 37 years old, I sometimes think I am too old to start a new career and I should just stay where I am in my life. BUT, the other part of me does not want to be looking back on my life at 60 years old and wishing I would have at least tried.
So, to all of the forum members here that have been or are in a similar situation, what are your recommendations?? What path did you take to get where you are today? Remember, I am 37 so, going to school for 10 years and starting a career at 47 or 48 is probably not the best idea? I appreciate any and all replies and input. I look forward to hearing from all of you.
Sorry for rambling on. Thank you for your time
Michael.
