Mick, I had resigned myself (due to my age and position "fit") to finishing my career where I am at today. For multiple reasons I have reconsidered that position.
If I make a move at 57, I'm out of Ag.
Sometimes there's a new chapter when you think the book has already been written..... and that's good!

Stan, sometimes a change of scenery is all it takes. I have an acquaintance who was forced, at 55, to change fields. He hooked on with a company that sells adaptive equipment (baths, wheelchairs, stairs, etc) to the elderly. He absolutely is thriving and says it is a great fit for him.

I tell ya, if I'm going back to being a road warrior on a bigger scale I'm going to sell in an industry I like/love, with better potential for growth.

The wheels are in motion Stan, after my road trip to see Chicago dealers and the impending success of my road trip. Having a full time "Road Dog" will be a no brainer.
