Congrats! Student loans are over-rated. They never made me a dime! ;-)

Congratulations Steve your really do deserve it and I've been praying for you, because I know how much you hated your other job.

But whatever you do you'll always be skilled at it. That's just the kind of person you are.

From Chad on Tue, Jun 03, 2008 at 19:30:52

I dunno ... sounds like a job with a lot of ups and downs.

(ok, I really apologize for that).

Good work, Steve. A man should enjoy what he does to put food on the table.

That is so great, I still think you will excel in the running stuff as well.

From cody on Tue, Jun 03, 2008 at 20:19:07

Congrats on getting the job you wanted. I know you have been looking for some time now. Worth the wait!

Thanks everyone, I know I don't always get to your blogs but only because of the lack of time lately with the new job, moving and family. I really appreciate your kudos. Steve.

Steve, It sounds like everything is working out for the best at this time. Very glad to hear that you are enjoying your job and you don't have to face the threat of student debt...

Congrats on the new job, Steve. It sounds like you are really happy to be in your new profession, and sometimes that can make all the difference in the world.

From Walter on Wed, Jun 04, 2008 at 00:30:54
