My life has been lived in approximately 10 year segments, with a new career every ten years or so. Everything from the Marine Corps, to a printer and newspaperman, to auto body, to auto sales, to insurance claims adjuster, to insurance inspections, to public office. And, along the way, I've been a perpetual college student.
And I recently found out why. When I was sworn in to public office, I was given a personality test, mostly as a gauge as to how I'd interact with the public. Among other things, the test showed I welcome a challenge, and can be very creative in finding ways to overcome a challenge, but after I've met the challenge I'm ready to move on to something else. Hence, every ten years or so I'm ready for the challenge of a new career. Not called good or bad, it's just the way I'm programmed. I can't imagine a more boring existence than getting a job right out of school, working at the same job for 40 or 50 years, and retiring. But, if it works for some people, and it obviously does, who am I to knock it?
Life is meant to be fun. So, I'd say look for something that appeals to you and go for it, even if it means retraining.

Today's Featured Article - Harvestin Hay: The Early Years (Part 2) - by Pat Browning. The summer of 1950 was the start of a new era in farming for our family. I was thirteen, and Kathy (my oldest sister) was seven. At this age, I believed tractor farming was the only way, hot stuff -- and given a chance I probably would have used the tractor, Dad's first, a 1936 Model "A" John Deere, to go bring in the cows! And I think Dad was ready for some automation too. And so it was that we acquired a good, used J. I. Case, wire tie hay baler. In addition to a person to drive th
