Nanner, Do what your heart tells you to do. Galaxys reply is a good one...

FWIW, at the age I am, I would love to be able to go back and take some of the family trips that I missed, OTOH, at the time, I was workin towards earning my journeyman machinist card... If I had not worked the way I did, my lifes path would have been completely different. I dunno.... you gotta look to the future, but at the same time, make time for your family. I know this is not a cut and dried answer... you just have to follow your own path. I hope that when your have gotten to your early 50s, that you can be as satisfied with your life as I am with mine.
