I'm back after a short slumber.

This is not a jobs issue. This is a decisions and effort issue.

We're getting into some real Dr. Laura type advice here (i.e. not advice at all, just brow beating).

It's only okay when you do it?

No, and when/if I do, I feel like I'm also called out on it, which is also okay.

My point is, the guy already has kids. What value is there in telling him he shouldn't have had kids yet?

Exactly. To paraphrase the old Donald Rumsfeld comment, you have to deal with the situation you're in, not the situation you wish you were in, or the situation you could have been in if you'd done x, y and z.

But I'll also agree with Chick Norris. Forget about guns and gun laws. Really, for someone in your situation, that shouldn't even be a consideration. You have a family to support and that should be your first, last and only priority. Period.

If you have to move to a state that hates guns and get a job driving a garbage truck in order to support your family, do it. Figure out the gun thing later, when you're in a financial position to do so.

While I?m sure my career has been partial luck on my part, I like to think that having a good work ethic and a willingness to learn has gotten me where I am today.

While I can?t say I?ve ever been overly excited about any job I?ve had, I?ve never been somewhere where I didn?t like the work I do or the people I?m around.

At this point of the game it?s the little perks that keep me going.... four day work weeks, very little travel, no call outs, seven weeks of vacation, a company vehicle, and a paycheck that I feel is more than fair for what I do.

Best wishes to the OP for everything working out in the end.

Just an update. I haven't even left the state and I've already heard back about a job I applied for last night, and it's a job that could lead to a great entry-level career out in Colorado. Not getting my hopes up yet as there are some phases to the hiring process, but if I could land it it would be great. Keep me in your thoughts.

You can say one thing about me. I may struggle to find my way in life. But I don't let my circumstances define me for very long. I usually show action and do something about it for the most part. And I do very well get my family and children are my number one priority right now.

I'll keep everyone updated.

Good luck with the job, I'll cross my fingers for you.

I have a question for you actually. What is the college doing with the large trebuchet next to the highway?

I always thought of trebuchet as a siege weapon
