[QUOTE="ok2bclever, post: 58852"] Air, yes, I have been recruited my entire career. The last conversation I had involving this was with a center manager I really respected (he retired a multi-millionare a year after the stock went public and now wears blue jeans a lot and really seems happy and laid back for the first time in his life)pretty much sums it up. He had been really pushing on the subject and he asked me what was the main problem I had with going into management. I told him it was the rootlessness. He said, "you think we are ruthless?" And I said, "That too." [img]http://browncafe.com/discus2/clipart/biggrin.gif[/img] No offense to managers here, but I have always had a problem obeying authority that wasn't right and also doing anything I didn't think was right. It's hard to keep your job in management with those two tendencies in my opinion. I also have always really loved my wife. I started dating her the year prior to going full-time and we are still married which is another rarity in supervision. We all have priorities and money was never at the top of mine and I didn't see anything supervision could offer me beyond that at costs too great. [/QUOTE]
