[quote=Anonymous]I'm getting ready to start college in my early 40's. I already have over 25 years experience within, what I consider, a dead end industry for me.

I’m intelligent, catch on to things new to me rather quickly, I have excellent work ethics (always on time and never miss work unplanned), I am a go getter, I always exceed goals and outperform my peers.

I like challenges that stimulate my mind. I think outside the box. I prefer to lead, not follow. I don't need to be micro-managed. I am very analytical. I am mathematically inclined. I am truly driven by money - even though I'm currently not making as much as I should be based on my experience - and I never let money interfere to cause me to make bad, immoral, or corrupt decisions.

I am happily married (over 15 years). We have multiple children from this marriage that are all under the age of 15. My wife is a stay at home mom. We struggle financially to make ends meet. I don't need answers telling me that my wife needs to get a job. We decided together, before having children, to this agreement. This is a request for advice for me and my future in the workforce, not hers.

I feel as though there was a fork in the road and the majority of life swerved one direction and I, UNFORTUNATELY, decided to take the less beaten path. I am looking for directions back to reality.

I'm looking for advice from people that are happy with their current or past careers. I would like to know your career and the salary range to expect. Even though you are happy with your career selection, there are always negatives with every job. Please indicate any negatives you have experience too. Please be honest. I'm trying to re-invent myself, as I'll probably be in the workforce until I drop dead, so I am attempting to avoid any pitfalls there may be while searching for a job that's perfect for me!
