Go for it! Two cheeseburgers and a beer!
I can't add much on what is said above. I make a very nice salary without a college education, but I am the exception not the norm. Unless you are in a skilled trade or the arts that does not usually require a degree, I think there will always be a glass ceiling financially. I have done the trade school thing, the Computer Science specialized course thing but here I am still doing the same thing I have been doing for over 20 years. The money and perks are too darn good. But, these times are a changing and it will not last forever. I am seriously considering going back to school for a new career after this one fades. I love working on bikes as a hobby, but wouldn't want to do it full time unless they were all mine. It gets boring working on other peoples bikes, especially when they are junk. People just want them to run, they don't care that the wheels are going to fall off.
Go with your heart, not somebody else's sob story. Good Luck!
