i am happy where i am at but definitely made a few wrong turns to get here.
if i could do it all again i would not have wasted 20 grand on an automotive trade school just to decide i like cars as a hobby and not a profession. i would have spent the money on schooling to become an architect though. with hind sight i also wish i would have got into contracting as i love to build. being a contractor can be very fruitful if your good.
but i am happy as a machinist. i make good money and enjoy what i am doing.
