Good Luck man,
Thank you so much. Yes I am 99% sure I am going to take the money and yes I can get re-educated but I can't decide for what. I see this as a huge opportunity to have a rewarding and fullfilling career. I want to be excited about getting to work every day, and be financially secure but I am having trouble finding the right vocation.
