I hope to do the same
You know, it ironic how most people figure that you're not too bright if you're a carpenter. They think you became a carpenter by default because you weren't smart enough to do something else. I chose my career as a carpenter because I loved building things. Unfortunately, after 30 years of building things my career just didn't turn out the way I had envisioned it. No exquisite hand crafted front entry-ways, no beautiful craftsman style cabinets, just fighting for a nickel with every other Tom, Dick and Harry for crap work. Anybody with a hammer is a carpenter and none of them are worth 10 bucks an hour any more.
I've always loved technology and messed with computers, programming, gadgets, networks and electrical devices, so I guess it's never too late. I know everybody thinks that the younger folks are more well versed when it comes to technology but my experience has been that the ones I know only know about games and text messaging.
