I know I could get a better job with more benefits tomorrow in the same field, I already have 2 offers, BUT I just am not sure that this is the profession that I want to pursue for the rest of my life. I worked 50 hrs a week and did online classes at night to obtain my Accounting degree. I just dont really have any interest in being an accountant. Im not the suit and tie kind of guy. The job I am speaking of is strictly commercial, no residential whatsoever. Said I would be on call one weekend out of every 4 months( I dont have a problem with that). I work 10 hours a day right now and live an hour from work so basically it is 12 hours a day. I am going to talk to the guy, see what he has to offer, and think about it some more. Its a big decision for me but one thing is certain, I have to move on from my current place of employment. I am topped out and will never progress any further. Who knows, there might be a job out there better suits my lifestyle. I feel like if I dont try then I will never know. I know that when I busted my butt in school to stay on the honor role I never thought that I would see myself turning wrenches for a living for 50k a year. Funny how life turns out I guess. There has got to be a better way!

Yes I know...I am getting screwed. I work in Atlanta. I have had quite a few job offers but no one that seems to want to pay much money. The International dealership will pay good money but its all on flat rate. I dont have a problem working but what concerns me is what will I do on weeks where the work isnt there? I just sit back and look at the big picture, not next week but 15 years down the road. In 15 years do I still want to be layed up under a truck with oil dripping in my face...the answer is NO. I want to do something that I can have the opportunity to spend more time with my family. I like challenging myself and learning new things and think that this would be something that I would be interested in.

I am 27 years old and have been a diesel mechanic for the past 7 years. I have been thinking alot lately about changing my profession. I am thinking about going into HVAC and studying to be a chiller technician. I would like some of you guys feedback on the profession. The job I am at now has no retirement, no 401k, no sick days, and only 5 days of vacation after 7 years of service...(yeah it kinda sucks). I am about to get ready to try to start a family and I need to look into a profession that allows me to prepare for my future. I would like to hear some opinions and if possible discuss some other information with you guys privately through pm's...this is a big step for me because diesel trucks are all that I have ever known but working 50 hrs a week and making 50k a year for the rest of my life just isnt what I had planned for the rest of my life. Thanks in advance for any input guys.

I am really trying to decide between the Smoke and the Lews...price is about the same. My buddy keeps trying to talk me into the Quantum Code for $69 but I have began to notice that you kinda get what you pay for. I dont like spending the extra money but I have spent the money on a better rod and would like to get a quality reel to go with it as well.

Bought a new Boyd Duckett 7'3" micro magic rod and and going to purchase a new reel to go on it...Going to use it as my new worm rod. I think i have narrowed it down to 3 reels. Which one would you guys go with and why? Thanks 1.) Quantum Smoke 100PT 2.) Lews Tournament Pro Speed Spool 3.) Abu Garcia Revo SX
