Trying to make a decision

My father said do what you love for a living and the paycheck is a bonus. Some of us gave that some thought when we were young and made it happen and now are living their dream. Sometimes i wish i had listened to my father and went to auto trade school who knows what my life would have been like but the drinking and druggin was more important till the second overdose that allmost killed me, my life changed after that. Went in the military learned a trade spent 8 years persued my a/p licence got to work on comercial aircraft,got married became a father have had some rough times but came out ok.
