[QUOTE="jbarnett, post: 3677125, member: 5193"] My wife is an RN and I doubt she would recommend it to anyone. Nursing has a high burnout rate. I started off and worked in automotive for about 10 years. ASE certified in engines and transmissions and worked on most everything else just didn't take the test. After fixing my boss computer I was the new IT guy and worked in IT for the next 20 years. About half contracting and half with Chesapeake Energy. After being laid off I bought an automotive shop and been running it for 2 years now. I did a full 360 back to where I started. Whether it was automotive or IT the best part of my career has been where I was self employed (even though several years I made less). If someone is looking at going into the trades I would say after you get some training and are good at your job be thinking about going out on your own. I feel blessed I am back being self employed with a good crew. My wife has cancer and we go to Houston frequently. I don't think I would have been able to take her if I was still working for a corporation. [/QUOTE]
