Thanks for the thoughtful reply.
I guess my attraction to LA is that it is something that I can do into my senior years that also utilizes the experience of my career up to this point.
So even if it takes a little time to get there, it will be something that I am passionate enough about to continue for many years, and I will be better off than I am at the point that my body can’t take the rigors of the landscape construction end of things.
