I was married to a technical writer. He called his work "kindergarten stuff...cutting and pasting." But he also wrote text books and manuals for several aerospace companies.

He was "there" when Skylab went up, and was there for the Enterprise. If he bacame unhappy in his work, I encouraged him to look elsewhere for employment. He was never out of work more than two weeks until he retired. For good.

I refused to sit at home and take the residual BS from his bosses. Do yourself a favor: Take a sheet of paper and draw a line down the middle of it, from top to bottom. On the right side, write "PRO" ~~ on the left side, write "CON."

Then list all the GOOD things about the company you work for on the Pro side, and the bad things on the Con side. Be honest. Ask your wife to help.

Whichever side has the most things listed is the side you should "listen" to.

(But you didn't hear it from ME!) It's just a suggestion to a friend is all...;o]

'Face, really good advice. Thanks!

Actually, in the past few days I went down through and enumerated (listed) the PRO column. I was surprised at how much was there -- even if some of it was only marginally there.

The CON side I am also familiar with, even though it may be incomplete -- it has one absolutely killer element in it.

Resume is already online.
