Looking for a renewable energy mentor: Jackson's career change at 53
Jackson, a factory operator, is retraining for renewable energy and is looking for a mentor for monthly calls over four months.

I have worked as a factory operator for 6 years, and I'm 53. After years of wanting more, I decided to move into renewable energy, and I have completed a bootcamp.
What I'm missing is someone who has walked this path: feedback on my capstone project, a realistic view of the job market in Michigan, and a sounding board when things feel overwhelming.
I'm hoping for one 45-minute video call a month for four months, plus the occasional email question. I'll bring specific questions and I won't waste your time.
All I can offer back is my thanks, and I'll mentor someone else once I'm settled.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Keep going, Jackson. Small businesses are the heart of Detroit. Hope you're open again soon. Don't give up. Greetings from Kozhikode
Take care. Hope you get there. My neighbor in Los Angeles donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
hang in there, Jackson. Hope the shop reopens soon. All the best.
Hope things get better soon. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out
