Looking for some advice.

[Brian Duensing]

I know I am new to the site but I am looking for thoughts from you all about a career change and if it is something that obtainable or just wishful thinking.

I have been in the Information Technology field as a system engineer going on 26 years now and tired of the bs and I am at a point that I want to go into a new direction.

I am seriously considering automotive field and focus more to the performance side of the trade.
By going this route will require substantial changes for the family and finances and will almost assuredly mean that I would have to get temp housing for myself by whatever school I go with. Another consideration is my age and making such a change later in life and if my age will hinder progress in the field.

The schools I have either spoke with or gotten information on at this point are Western Tech, Ohio Tech, SAM, Wyotech, UTI/NTI , UNOH and Lincoln Tech. I am concerned about Wyotech and that Corinthian is selling to ECMC and the stability of the school moving forward.

With this being said I am looking for input from all you that are knowledgeable in the field if any of these schools or others that I have missed but might be worth a look and is the field outlook good and is this change something I should be even thinking about?

Thank you in advance with your thoughts on this,
Brian
