Guys !
been super busy at work, but finally got to read all the suggestions.
So... I think I am going to just give it a go for a while and work with a buddy who does low voltage. I am just misereable with my current employment.
I am going to help do a wiring job as there is a house that just finished framing. a 5-6 day job. I'm going to get my C7 as well...

Whats the worst that can happen?? I am not committed to anything major and I can always fall back on my present career.

I cant thank you enough for all the input!!
