Hi, everyone;

I am new to the site and am 43 years old. Most of my life has been spent in industrial/inventory/machine operations...with a little customer relations here and there. My problem is that I have never been this type of person, to like this kind of work. For the first 30 years of my life, I had quite the problem with my inferiorities, feeling as though I didn't deserve any better. I was my own worst enemy. After herniating two cervical disks at a physically demanding job, I decided it wouldn't be long before I would end in the hospital, permanently disabled, if I didn't try to do something other than what I was doing. I tried and tried to keep my mind on my work, but I found it personally boring and couldn't. Now I am here, at a very real transition in my life, and it is rather scary, but now I have the esteem I need to do it. I do believe in myself and feel worthy enough to try. Is there anyone else out there who would like to share their story of starting over? Thank you.
