Sounds like a candidate for the SERVICE!!   Talk to a recruiter in all the 
services....lots of good training on machines..college credits to boot! Plus all 
the other good things...$$$   medical..housing...3 hots and a cot!  Not 
everyone goes to Iraq!!

You're "back home"  not in the Twin Cities.....not much opportunity  IMO

I was a foster child.......worked in a meat packing plant / carlot / HotRod 
shop / Zoo...got drafted during the Viet Nam era and went to 
Germany!.........loved working on MY  cars....but not others unless it payed REAL well [  
Hotrods / customs didn't cost more than houses!] ....I ended up in a manufacturing 
company......started in the paint shop [ sander / masker ]  but made good 
overtime $$$   health ins.  VACATION  and a retirement program....Now I had the $$  
and some time to do what I liked.....watched for opportunities and went after 
them.....Electrical assembler......finished product tester...power 
generation.....and now field maintenance...no  special schooling....ALL for the same 
Company........even though I retired twice!! [ quit]

This gave me time to persue sideline businesses.....and find I didn't really 
find FULL  satisfaction in any of them.....just  independence and $$$..but 
with a price!

So...look around for a "substantial"  employer....doing something 
mechanical.....and BASE  from there....It will open many doors of opportunity  and keep 
you in the $$   while you make up your mind!   note:...U S government is the 
most substantial!  ggggg

I'm out west..where the Cost of doing business is so high, that to be 
successful / profitable...you need a "Base"  and your sideline business that is in 
demand! Only a handful ever, are soooooo  sucessful that they remain viable for 
more than a few years...and you don't build a future by changing jobs / 
business every few years.  IMO
