Hi Guys,
Having taken on the enjoyable experience of changing careers mid-life due to burn-out & a break down I have to say that I truly made the right choice for ME.
I am however very lucky to have hooked up with a small elect co that share the same classic car interests thru one of my car clubs and they have been really helpful and not as convicted to treat me as a young 1st year by allowing me to move along at my own pace provided they feel I'm being safe in doing so. I've been allowed to spec jobs, work on LV to 600v with no formal experience other than to pay attention and asking lots of questions when the others are there working on it.
Thank God!! because going thru the coffee fetch & mess cleaning I truly don't think it wld have held my interest long, lol. And the respect I recieve as an, ummmm, elder?! is greatly appreciated.
Don't get me wrong, it certainly isn't easier being older, the schooling (theory) is killing me especially trying to shake out the cobwebs for math long forgotten. But, if you can honestly find it in you to enjoy this type of work you will have no problems in succeding with a lil hard work, a lot of brushing up on math skills, and a whole lot of determination.
Enjoy your new decision & all the best in your choice(s).
-Greg
