Would love to get some advice. I often think about leaving tech and moving into blue collar jobs, any guidance would be appreciated. 

The biggest thing is the money. I make really good money, which makes it really hard to leave. I have a house too.

I know I will have to take a pay cut to switch careers.

I'm also 35yo. 

 I have quite a few interests:

- heavy equipment operation.
- welding.
- plumbing.
- electrician.
- general contracting.
