Jimmy - your timing could not have been better for this question....I am struggling BIG TIME with this issue. In fact, I was offered two HUGE jobs in the past 5 weeks, (6 figure salaries with comp into high 2's at plan, with no limit on total earnings - both companies are very large firms, with full bene's including pensions), but at the last minute my driving record (of all *^%#$ things) screwed me up....I got unlucky a few years back and got a few speeding tickets....like driving 45 mph in a 35 mph zone.....no big deal, right? Well it is.....it cost me hundreds of thousands of dollars as a result.

I keep telling myself maybe it just wasn't meant to be, and the travel I would have to have done would have taken me away from my two daughters too much......but damn.......it really has me thinking about life, etc.

(In fact, I ran to the WW this afternoon just to cast and think about life......I wasn't expecting any action, and got none)...
