I was working as a cable TV tech. for Time Warner for about 5 years. One day while hanging sideways off a telephone in an icy rain I said to myself "I just can't be doing this when I'm 40" I was 35 at the time. So I talked it over with my partner and decided to take a big risk. I made a plan to quit work and go back to school, gave myself a year to figure out how to do it. Almost a year to the day I left my job and started at Chubb in the networking program. I figured I could not be out of work for years so I picked a accelerated program and studied till I puked from the stress. I got real lucky and one month after I graduated I got a job with AT&T. I have been there for 11 years now.
Good luck
