Yes, it's true, I am left with no choice. It's either that or change vocation. At my age, not easy.

Build something...It is that simple.

I don't hate my job, but it's not my long term goal to keep being a system engineer at a pharmaceutical plant. The pay and the hours are good, and it's very close to home so I can spend time with my family. My old job as a software developer for test and measurement apps was a lot more exciting, but required me to be on the road a lot.

Currently I work part time, 4 days per week on the job, 1 day per week building my razor smithing business. My exit strategy is to keep working like this for the next couple of years to build my business, to the point where I can start doing knife and razor making fulltime. The reason is that I don't see myself doing my current job until I retire. My wife wants to move to another, warmer country when we are older, and me being a knifemaker means that I could keep doing what I do in a remote location where cost of living is low.
