Finding a new career

Making a life change is never easy.  I have spent most of my working life in the investment business as a money manager and stock trader. For 15 years this career path was interesting and lucrative enough to pay my bills.  However, the past 3 years have been difficult, and I am finally looking to change careers.  My reluctance to make this change has been dealing with the transition from making decent money to start over and make very little.  But I have to do something now because even the money now is running out.

There is nothing easy about looking for work that pays half of what I used to make.  But then again I have made half of what I used to make for the past 3 years.  However, the opportunity lays in changing to a career I can really enjoy.  As long as the money is not great in any area, why not do something I will enjoy.

Looking back at the choices I made 20 years ago, I should have worked for Fedex.  I have always loved logistics and transportation.  In college I rented a truck with my friend to take dorm belongings from San Diego to Northern California. I figured out the routing, the pricing, and the actual moving.  We each made five hundred bucks and moved our own stuff.

Now I will try to find something in the trucking logistics area without worrying about the pay.
