I used to work in a paper mill for K.C. made very good money. Hated my job the only thing that made me happy was my cars. I left the mill, moved to AZ, went back to being a diesel mechanic/weld working for a family owned bulk transport company and am very happy. I don't make big bucks anymore but bills are paid and my wife and I are very very happy. AND THATS ALL THAT COUNTS. When you love your job it makes the rest fall into place.
