Right on my man! Are with an Ind. BD. or completely on your own?

I'm with Next Financial Group. I'm a licensed S-7, 24, 63, 65, and a L&D... I'd rather be on your back porch smoking a stogie and watching a catfish line. My uncle owns United Bilt Homes. I worked for him in 1990 in the great state of TX. You probably see our (his) signs all over the state (yellow and black and "Built is spelled Bilt" so you get that warm okiedokie feeling). lol

You need a qualified principal? I'm packed and ready and I have a book to boot.

Geez, talk about reviving old threads. I do believe that this is the oldest thread to be ressurected. This one started back in 05 when the FOH forum was still a wee toddler, taking it's first few steps.

Quit my job in sales after 10 years to go back to school. I'm now about 1 month into my first year of law school at 32 with 2 young kids. Hopefully, I was able to stock up on enough good booze and cigars to get me through it.

Go figure: wife and I did the same thing: 32 yrs old and 2 kids. Engineering for her (she can count), geology for me (I can bang rocks with a hammer). Worth the effort and sacrifice. Kind of tricky competing with 25 yr olds in the work force once you are done - 'cuz the brain don't work so fast when you're older. But absolutely no regrets. Best of luck.

Headstand - did you go to school in Alberta?

I am considering a move back... just wanted to get a feel of the school and job market... things change, but never hurts to hear from other's point of view.

Ghabanos,

School in Sask. UofR: cheaper, smaller town, easier to manage with the kids etc.

With the oil and gas resources, Alberta's economy is better than most. Not immune, but still better. I understand that office space is becoming scarce again as corporations are tooling up for expansion once the world economy evens out a bit.

Cheers,
