I wish I could get back to school. Waiting for my wife to finish......and for me to work less than 60 hours a week. With her finishing...comes my less hours. For now...I enjoy the rewards of 60 hour weeks........even the gray hairs that come with them.

Yeah, I hear you. The only thing I know is that it was a lot easier years ago. I could not work now and go to school also. There is a window for everything. One day it will be shut for good.

Thats what I keep hearing from my dad.........holding off on school and working 60 hours a week isnt free.........the piper comes along.......the price is often the big one. Then, the door is shut for good.

Yea......funny how the older I get, the smarter he gets.
Actually.....in the grand scheme of things.......gettin back to school is number three on my list. The old man and I have talked for hours and covered my goals.....and he agrees I have them in the right order.
Now I just have to keep the whole team on focus and in motion. Thats the hardest part.

What a cool thread you guys have going on here I personally never could do the third shift thing myself. After the Army I am too programed to get up at 06:00. Tried it a couple of times and all I ended up doing is staying awake for days.
