Great post Rev Doc - thanks for taking the time to compile your post (wish I had that time) - clearly no offense intended - very, very good advice to all the hopefuls - you have your dreams, you bust your butt getting to knock on the door; you have to shove & haul your way through that door and at first you like what you see but then the rose-tint starts to wane. Soon you're cussing what you see & beating on that door to get out. Hey, conditions have changed for most of us; sands are shifting, things are more expensive but take a deeeeep breath & (for the great majority of us) & realize how many aspirant door-knockers would willingly take your seat. Now, you can always give up that seat - that is your choice but remember how bad you wanted that seat a few years back.
