re: Who here didn't go to college but found a career that they succeeded in?

Joined the navy after high school. Became an ironworker after the navy. Got into welding inspection after close to 20 years as an ironworker. I did welding inspection and dimensional inspection for close to 15 years until diabetes got the better of me. I also spent 10 years teaching blueprint reading for the ironworkers apprenticeship programs which I really enjoyed.
I was really enjoying life until my diabetic complications flared up.
