I was into machining right out of high school. After layoffs and plant closings I got into IT, now networking. I’d never make the kind of money I do now if I hadn’t of made that career change! I love my job too.
Your loss. They are a good pre-tax investment vehicle. Last I checked you could take $10K out of ira and $50k out of a 401(k) for home down payment or new builds.
You have to pay back with interest, but the interest goes to you.
