That's exactly why I've turned to a new industry. I am still working on a computer almost all day long, but now it is all for providing insurance to self-employed people. It is just a different facet of the same world. I wish you the best of luck. Solid families can weather a period of separation. I know that personally because of the 3 years I spent working away from Steve, going home on most weekends. It sounds like a good spot and like it will be worth the initial sacrifice.
