I say go for it!
I'm a pretty new soul in this world, and a few years back i came to the point when it was time to choose what carreer i was gonna go for in life, i have and had allways dreamed of becoming a bodyworksman and work with hotrods and stuff of the sorts, but i let people piss on my dream, (mostly my parents) and so i didnt go for it, wasting my chance by not learning stuff and picking up education in the area.
This is one of my biggest regrets so far in life, because in spite of what everybody (mostly my parents) said, my dream did not die, and i have realized that it was not a stupid idea, and i actually would still want to be a proffessional sheetmetal worker.
But as it looks now it is most likely i will be a truckdriver instead, and it feels like ######, not to be a trucker, the proffesion actually appeals to me, but that i will be so just because "they" said so and i let them get to me.
Most people dont understand the phenomena of dreaming, or doing what you want with your life, they just kinda "do what they are supposed to", check in, work, check out, eat, sleep, retire, die.
Figures why so many on their dying beds feel that theres been something missing...
I can tell you are not one of them, and one day when death lies before you, you will be able to say: "well, i did the best of it" with a smile. If its not a bold statement.
Just go for it.
