Like RogersTV, I'd choose a different road if granted a replay.

I'd go to school in Denver & become a gunsmith, work, save & then open my own shop.

I've a couple customized guns & would love to build them my self, both shotguns & rifles. A shop with a good/master custom gun maker ALWAYS has orders & challenges.

A reasonably good income & I'd love every minute of it.

Money, beyond a certain point, is not what life should be about.
