funny you should post this today. My 41 year old son retired from law enforcement last year and took a vocational course in something else he thought he would like. He called us last night to tell us he left his new job because it was requiring too much time away from his family. Fortunately, he has a very good pension, health insurance and his wife works part time in a hospital so they will be fine financially. He's going to work at his first love, carpentry. I know he will be happier and he will be able to spend more time with his wife and girls.
Good luck to you in your new endeavor.
