Wow, I've been at the same job for right at 29 years, make great money and have basically been my own boss for the last 17 years or so. Very sad but that's life I suppose, and this couldn't have hit me at a more emotionally time with what I'm going through with my mother.

Sorry I got off task a bit. I like helping people and I think this would be a rewarding and safe job for the future even with the Nimrods we now have in office.

This Hope and Change is bankrupting everybody, the construction industry is below a snakes belly right now.
I haven't heard about your mother but want you to know that she, and you, will be in my prayers.

Go for it Mark. I admire a man who has the good sense to look ahead and prepare for the future. You will be back in the routine of studying within a month and burning through the books like a rocket.

I think you made a good career choice that will be a great job. By the way, will your chores include women needing therapy? That could make some 'bright spots' in your day. lol
