[QUOTE="velocicaur, post: 16381612, member: 33335"] Sorry for your health issues. Definitely be realistic with your career choices. A lot of it depends on your medical issues. Are they going to come back? Are they going to get worse with time? Etc. Working outside in the elements - or any physically demanding job - is hard enough when you're in good shape and it only gets worse as you age. I'm 34 and have been working outside for the last few years now in landscaping. It's a rough life. I'll have to look for something else in the next few years because it's just too much. Even if it paid twice (so wages are more in line with higher in trades) It's just too physically draining. You only get one body. Don't wear it out any more than you have to imo. Edit: As most career counselors and such would say, you should contact people that do the job you are considering doing and talk to them. Ask them some questions about what they like about their job, don't like, etc. over coffee or something. See if you can job shadow them for a few days. It's really the best way to find more about a career and see if you want to pursue it. [/QUOTE]
