Hi Feral Chris, It's a hard call, and as you can see everyone has an opinion, but as you can see the common thread is to do what's right for YOU. This means knowing who youreally are and dipensing with the ideals society has imposed on us. Some of the conventions are hareder than others to free ourselves from, one of the hardest,(and funniest if you have my black sense of humour), is the romantisism of hollywood. Skills can and will be aquired throughout your life but you just need to be sure you can live with your decision in the future. Search your soul, all us oldies, (and a lot of the youngies), know, the answer lies there. Whatever your choice Chris remember we're in a fairly lucky place. We can always go back and take a road we bypassed ealier on. Cheers.
