    And being that I am an inspector in the Environment dept the chances of my job being cut are somewhere around the chances of hell freezing over.

    Am I working in a job I like? NO!
    Am I attaining my full potential? Hëll NO!!
    Am I making as much money as I could? Nope...

    On the other hand I never have to worry where the next pay check will come from...
    I never have to worry about the Enrons of this world destroying my pention plan...
    I know if I get crippled tomorrow and can't work, I will be paid my full salary for life and my kid will be ok.

    So this is a case of choosing a safe average job over a risky but rewarding job.

    No offense to you Red - we all have our priorities, but this sounds like death to me.
