I am constantly thinking about this. The job I currently have is shaky at best(paper industry). I just don't know where to go or what to do. Not having a college education doesn't help either. There are not many jobs in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan (or anywhere in Michigan) so if I'm going to try to find a different career, I'll probably have to move.

My question is, how many opportunities am I going to have to get a good paying job so I can support my family (and my car habit) without a degree? Being almost 39 years old, are many companies going to take a chance on a farmboy/papermaker from Michigan?

Michael.
