Thank you! 1) and 2) sound really great, I might do this once I made my decision final :)

I also like the limitation aspect in 3), esp. for people that are prone to burning out!

I hope you found some support/guidance/'confirmation of gut' from the various suggestions offered from many different view points.

Good Luck with Everything and hope you land on your feet (which you probably will btw). Just remember - There is no 'crystal-ball' in this life. The closest us techies use these days is either magic 8-ball or 'cowsay' :->

Good Luck with everything!
