Medicine has the education drawback, too -- 7 years is a long time to sink into starting a second career. It isn't as if I could work my day job while getting that degree, either. Very problematic, that.

9dreizig -- good point -- growing up is probably WAY over-rated. I am married, and we'd like to start having kids in another year or so. I'm comfortable with travel, as long as it's not excessive. My current job runs me at about 30-35% of my time on the road, which isn't too bad. Too much more (consultant, Merchant Marine) wouldn't quite do the trick.

Keith -- I had heard rumors of medical equipment sales types making substantial money, but I hadn't realized that installers also did reasonably well. I'll look into it.

What about so-called "green" energy? Is there any career to be had in environmental science?

Thanks,
Dan
