Jake,
I'm 35 years old and just gave up an $80k job. Why? Because no amount of money is worth destroying your body. Sure, the money was good. But, I had to work with lead and moved between 80 and 100 tons of it by hand every single shift. Not worth it...
I've been out of work for three months and I'm still store and stiff every single day because of that job.
Sure, you can make decent money doing those things, but you won't be able to do it for more than 10 or 15 years without winding up wore out and broke down.
Guess who's 35 years old and back in college? Yep, that's right!
And no, I don't drive the Porsche to school
