>Was that a compliment on the U.S. Metin? :o) I am surprised that the opportunity to change careers is not as easily attainable in Turkey as it is here. Many here don't think they can do it either, but typically it takes some planning and research and alittle bit of sacrifice. Here, it depends on how much you spend - your quality of life really. If you spend a lot then you will not have anything left over (set aside) to live on when/if times get rough or you wish to go back to school and learn a new trade. However, it is always possible to do it slowly by attending college at night while working fulltime (or nowadays even online but the written work is almost triple for online courses). Isn't that option available in Turkey? It would mean more time away from the family, but the reward would be more options when you attain a 2nd degree or technical trade.

Here's something that is available to anyone on the internet:
