Question for you folks.
What kind of jobs are there in the motorcycle world that makes 6 figures? Is it impossible for someone to start in that area? What about starting part time to build something up to that level?
Here is the deal, I absolutley hate my job, have for years and years. I know, who doesn't? I want to change to a career I would love. I'm finding it damn near impossible to do. I have worked my way up to a very senior level position in the Govt. which means my lifestyle matches that. I live in Mont. County MD, mortgage, 2 kids in school, couple car payments, and not much debt. Tried to switch over flying, nope, that didn't work. Got my certs, I just could not figure out how I could switch over to something and survive with an 80%+ paycut. I could take 10-20 or maybe even 30% paycut, not 80 though.
So now for months I've been looking at something in the motorcycle world. Nothing. I'm not a tech, don't have money to start a business, ect... I just feel that I'm 37, no way I can work doing what I do for another 30+ years till I can retire. I just don't understand how someone can change careers with a family without literally putting them through hell.
Am I just out of touch with reality? Is it even possible?
Anyone have ideas in the motorcycle world for someone to switch careers. I'm OK with having to work a couple years to get there, it's just that when the swich happens it can't be at an 80% pay loss.
