Career Change at 41...Mars Bound

Just a question, right?  I could start over.  Why not?  For a second this morning, becoming an astronaut sounded appealing (and oh so original...just like every other Gen Xer at the age of 10) but I know I won't pass the mental, physcial, and IQ tests, so astronaut is out.

Although, anyone interested in becoming an astronaut should read this:  http://hubpages.com/hub/How-To-Become-An-Astronaut.  I found it this morning while searching on requirements for becoming an astronaut (See, I told you I thought about it for a second or two this morning.  I was serious in a not-really-serious-but-sort-of-curious way).  According to the author, "Not only do you need the balls the size of hypergiant twin binary-stars. You will need a baggage of academic and practical excellence."

So, astronaut is out for me...maybe swap meet coordinator?
