I hope I never have to go back into the regular workforce, not that what I am doing now is cushy, I just love it a lot.

Hey man, that's really cool. Hope it goes well for you. I would like to start my own gig some day.

I decided not to go for it.

The company I work for is fantastic and again I love the projects I work with

h: Plus I work with a handful of PE in house that can sign off for me when I take my FE/PE exams in the next few years.

Va., among other things. 5 days a week, home every night.

I took this over a job making nearly double as a OTR tanker driver. The money would be nice, but I'd be home every other weekend...

Yeah I see their trucks all the time. Their office in Southpointe is the same building as where Im getting my MBA.
Welcome to PA/OH oil and gas. Its fun. You better be ready to work.
