No! You can't cash it out without penalty, you must roll it over.

You had me at all the pros and who cares if no vaca for a year. You would be working 4 days a week.

Where do I sign up and apply?

I like the masters and 4days a week part the best!

Are they hiring you for a specific project? Companies like Fluor, General Dynamics, Bechtel etc tend to hire people as "employees" but depending on what sort of work you do they may be more or less likely to lay you off at the first sign of not having a project to put you on. Then again there are plenty of people who put in 20 years with these companies too.
