Happy birthday dude. Once you hit your twenties everything does feel like a downward spiral sometimes, but that all depends on your overall outlook- everyone has a different point of view & personality. Do whatever makes you happy, and if you can earn money doing it, even better!
thanks for all the replies guys, I've been involved in a lot of things, but r/c, and particularly this site has always been so inviting, I'll keep on rolling!
