Forget the cost Darrin. Wasn't much. Just share with any others who are interested. Send me E-mail with short resume of Darrin. Tell me your views of what is a good paying job. It's a relative value you know. Are you married, single, lots of responsibilities of others etc. At 74 I have much experience in both applying and also for hiring firing. I have been a Sam of all trades. Master of none. ggg Have been operations supervisor for Eastern Airlines in Nashville, Manager of stationery store, traveling salesman. Allstate Insurance agent, Owned a battery distributorship, Had my own insurance agency. Sold cars at Cadillac dealership. Sold Chevvies another dealer. Had my own used car lot and financed my own cars I sold. Had 3 drive-in markets, Had a video game room in shopping center, and sold satellite electronics and installation for myself at time of aneurysm. Now I had accumulated much for a high school drop out but the body was worn out from neglect. The Doctors, Hospital, etc wiped most of it out in the 3 months in intensive care on life supports. Medications, Prosthestics, supplies, got more in 6 months than I made in the prior 20 years and I wasn't old enough for medicare. Self employed and high blood pressure would not permit a new hospital policy so when that happened had a $14 day room and $300 Surgical benefit. That doesn't pay over $100 grand a month in costs. The moral is I missed the good life by wrong values placing money ahead of family and health. God did not punish me. I created it all by myself. And I didn't get to enjoy the money I worked so hard to accumulate for retirement.
