Good for you! I injured my hand in a factory after working there almost 6 years, and in between getting better and deciding what I wanted to do with my life the company moved their operations south. It was a blessing in disguise because I wasn't moving away from my family. I do not think I would of had the courage as you did to leave what at that time in my life was a good living. I went back to school and I have a really good job now beyond anything I could of ask for other then being the next Stevie Nicks! All my best
