Yup, and that's entirely my problem as well. I'll have the education behind me at least. The one really good thing about my education is....the Military paid for by BS, my current employer is paying for my MAS 100% and they will pay for my doctorate 100%, So at my age debt free for my education...does that count any?

But I figure, I'm 29, I'll be a Ph.D/DBA by the time I'm 34 (crossing fingers), and that should open enough doors for me to choose from.

I'm not sure if I want to teach or manage....tough choice. I'm thinkin' about teachin' locally here in Fort Worth for where I got my BS and MAS from but online only to see if I like teaching or not.

Uh dude, to my understanding he owns half this website. Look at the right hand column. See all those sponsors? They pay to advertise here.
Not only is he an engineer, but a saavy business owner as well.

I also write/shoot for GM High Tech magazine, another decent income at $800/article. I guess I just like staying busy

It looks very nice to me. Smooth lines with a dark color. Is the paint as nice in person as in the pictures? What parts have you ordered? Ls1 related?
Shoot me some pictures under the hood, I'd love to see it.

Yea my boss just picked up his HO car from Cali and had it shipped a few weeks ago. It's nothing too special right now, just a fairly nice paint job, interior that is complete and some nice wheels. The Matching # 327 and the auto is coming out soon for a 5-6 speed of some variety (looking at TKO 500 and 600s) and a big small block (looking at 408-434).

I almost contacted you about this car as he had also considered selling and picking up something else but he likes the first gens too much. He had a VERY nice one in the mid 90s that was Hawaiian Orchid (purple color) with ghost Z28 stripes and a 406/Richmond 5 spd. He had that while working for Peterson Publishing on Cali.

It's really cool to have a carguy for a boss!!
