Waaahhhhhhhhh!



Go get and read a copy of _Who Moved My Cheese?_ It's time to adapt,
old buddy. Find (or CREATE!) another niche and fill it.

$0.01 + $3.99 s/h, or see your local library.

I'm working on my 4th major career change now, too.
(auto mech-QA-elec/comp/web tech-handyman-cnc mfg)
I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up.


Im almost 60..and Ive made 9 career changes..big ones in the past 45
yrs.

Im running out of steam, desire, and ability to jump into another one.


Why would you want to jump out of this one, gummer?

"Hummmm? I get $75 an hour, .55 cents a mile out and back, and
$25/hr travel time."

$75 an hour is $75,000 a year even if you only work 20 hours a week, not
to mention several thousand dollars more (at $25/hour) for your travel
time to Long Beach and other parts of the L.A. Basin. You could live
like royalty on $75,000-$90,000 a year in Taft, where the median family
income is about $37,000 per year.

Ooooohhh...I also note that the male population there is 53.9%. That's
going to be some intense competition for the 46.1% of females, and I
don't think cardiac bypass survivors typically fare well in that sort of
competition.

You're caught in another lie, gummer.
