Tonight I was at what I guess you would call a job fair.  It was for only one company, Halliburton.  I wouldnt have even considered going if it was any other company.  So we watched a video and got the low down on the positions they are looking to fill.   I gave my resume and talked to the HR guy for a bit.  Its hard work, long hours and travel, sometimes I would be away from home for a few days at a time.  From the looks of it you definately earn your pay which is really good.  The benefits package is tops also.  For me, working for them would be a dream job.  But, the wife and I have to sit down and talk things over.  Have to see what she thinks of firing the outdoor furnace.  Also, we have a long driveway and with the snow gets deep in the winter.  She already said tonight about her being able to get out when I am away.  So, lots to think about.  Especially if I get called for an interview. Then its serious.  It would be a rough transition going from being my own boss to working for someone again.  Its been 15 years since I opened my business.  I have to admit I am a little scared but confident I could do the job.  Am I crazy for even thinking about a change like this when I will be turning 40 in 6 months?:?
