I've changed jobs before, and don't remember it being weird, but this time I'm really nervous. I'm not sure why. Maybe because I've been laid off in the past and this time I'm going from a permanent position to a contract position which has the stigma of being less secure (rightly so).

But, my last stepkid is graduating college in a month or so, so she won't be a dependent, so the insurance is less important, and my wife will have insurance starting in Aug, so that's covered.

The big thing is that I'm almost doubling my money with this move. It's supposed to be a long term contract, and the guy that's hiring me is a cousin of a good buddy who'd be taking the job, but it's too far for him to drive. I think I'll also be able to get anywhere from 1-3 other buddies hired on after me (possibly 2 from my current company). So, I hope/think, it'll be a really good move.

But I'm still very nervous.
