I made a career change in my mid twenties, I wanted to be a builder more than anything. Be persistent and don’t be afraid not to volunteer at any project that is being built for the poor. Not sure if you have Habitat Homes for the poor there but some organization like that. It will get you rubbing elbows with construction people. Second is never give up. It all up to you to create you own opportunities, think outside the box. network to the people you need. I now had to make another career change in my mid 50’s because the economy is bad for construction in my area. I looked around and set a goal. “Nothing determines your success more than hard work” Abraham Lincoln. Go make it happen. Don’t give up!
