I have finally been offered a job that will hopefully lead me on a happier and more fulfilling career path! For those of you that don't know or remember, for the last five years I've been working in a factory near my home town in East Tennessee as one of their inventory monitors. There are things I like about the job, but I feel need to move on to be happy.


My new job will be as a field technician for a construction and engineering consulting firm near the Raleigh North Carolina. It's much closer to my bro already living in the area. The job also sounds like it could more easily lead me into a career more closely related to my academic background in engineering then Environmental Studies (Geology). Apparently I need a Geologist In Training certification and five years of related experience to to even take the Professional Geologist exams.


Right now my energy and stress levels are all over the place with suddenly putting my life in a new direction.


Art stuff:

I have been working on some things and I have plenty more I want to do, but my schedule is going to be very sporadic especially for the next few months. One con (or pro) of changing to a construction based industry, there can be seasonal or weather related slow downs. That might open the temptation to expand into secondary gigs... and by secondary gigs I mean I might consider something like commissions...
