Actually, your skill level, safety, age, financial ability, parents involvment, transportation, and a dozen other factors are all related to this thread. You are asking advice here and they need this type of information to base their answers on. You need to remember that a lot of these members here have decades worth of experience and they have seen similiar situations as yours more than once. They ask these questions so that they can advise you with an answer that is realistic to your situation. Please don't get upset at them if they ask questions that you don' think need to be asked (we moderators would remove the post if they are asking questions that shouldn't be asked). As a new person in this hobby many of these questions may seem like they aren't important, but they actually are. You need to trust the veterans here that they are going to help you out.
