Job Change? I think of this often! I am 38 and have been in construction for a very long time and it has taken a toll...but mostly I would like to be more 'successful' and that isn't going to happen being an hourly worker with no real benefits. I have worked for my uncle and now cousin for over 20 yrs...they do ok, but nobody is getting rich...especially in these times!

I get so worried about getting jobs done that I never think about what I would really like to be doing. I guess I fall under the 'hard worker' not 'dreamer' title.

Things that are holding me back:

Bills, Bills, Bills
Have no idea what I 'want' to do
Basic education
Scared to leave a job that 'pays the bills'
Scared to loose my house if it doesn't work out
But mostly I have no idea what I would 'like' to do

I know that I can't do my job forever...but sadly I'm having a real hard time taking that first step into something that might save my body and give my family a more financially secure life.
