Good for you!! 30 is an excellent time to make a career decision -- you've had 12 years of adulthood to find yourself. But, as John Lennon wrote in "Baby, You're a Rich Man:" "Now that you know who you are...what do you want to be?" I've always felt that people should be 30-35 MINIMUM before they make major decisions about life and career -- I don't think any of us are mature enough to lock ourselves into anything before that. Unfortunately, life, reality, and bills usually intervene.

Have fun in the dirt -- I've been stuck in an apartment for the last 15 years and really miss getting outside and digging, weeding, mulching, planting, watering, etc. It's good for the soul and very therapeutic. And if you can find a way to make money at it -- well, you've hit the mother lode. "Do what you love, and the money will follow..."
