At 55, I'm planning my retirement at 65. People like to talk about going fishing or golfing all the time when they retire, but actually most would be bored shitless after a couple of months. I gave a lot of thought to a home business where I could work for someone else if need be. Something that gave me an opportunity to pick and choose jobs plus be outside. Being inside on a computer or shuffling papers isn't my idea of fun. In the end I took a year's worth of welding classes at a local community college, two nights a week, for $2000. It was very enjoyable.
Even though there are many practical applications to welding, it's also an art form. Here are a couple of my works:
