Hey Carl;
Good luck to ya, if that's what ya want to do, go for it.
Changing jobs/careers is a big thing to most guys. Like your first run on a new motor, not sure what's goin' ta happen. I just hope it's not all about "more money". That's nice and all, but if that's all there is to it, sometimes it might not be worth it in the end. Like Granpappy said, "Do what makes ya happy boy, and screw the rest."
P.S. Lookin' at the same situation end of January next year myself.
Best of Luck!
