My 10c. Don't start a career because of what money you think you might earn. Do something that you love, or at least enjoy. Life is too short to spend 8 - 10 hours a day on something you don't enjoy. You

very interesting - has pipe size made a difference?

wish I had you as a neighbor - would motivate me to do more!
