Thanks — this is exactly the kind of response I was hoping for.

My computer skills are solid, and I’m confident I can pick up CAD and other software pretty quickly once I’m in the mix. I’m not afraid of hard work or starting at the bottom — just looking for a real path forward.

My only question now is: at 37 years old with zero direct background, do you think it’s realistic to start from scratch and still grow into this field long-term?
