I often dream about being a carpenter, a park ranger, or a truck driver. But it feels like it's too late, and my family would suffer from the lack of funds as I transition and learn.


I'm transitioning to being a carpenter of sorts. I think it has a lot in common with design/dev. My dad is a contractor, he's lousy at marketing but manages to stay busy. He likes to say "All I do is pick up the phone when people call, and it's more than my competition does".


Carpenter and park ranger sound gratifying. But truck driver? Can you help me understand the appeal?


I like driving long distance, and visiting different cities.


You only have one life. How much land does a man need?
