Yes all logical. My "plan" is to move into Nuclear at Bruce Power. My dad has worked there for 30 years, my bothers Best man's mother works directly with Duncan Hawthorn (president) and I went to school with the son of the VP of Corporate Affairs. While certainly not a sure thing my 15 years of experience in sales makes me a very good interviewee. They are experiencing a huge exodus (retirement, most are in thier mid 50's) of long term employees so they will be hiring. Salaries are embarrassingly high.

Also since I have been laid off I have the opportunity to apply for a government program called "second career". The program would pay for part of my education.

Its a half baked plan so far, I still have to look at all the "what if's"
