Career path

Wow, so my life is about to change pretty drastically. I'm scared, but I'm excited. So right now, Olde world restoration is sort of merging, or perhaps being absorbed by this new company. We will be working for a new boss, which is cool, but he's gonna want to see some serious hours put in as well as hard work in the factory. So, it's going to be a permanent change of scenery from carpentry.

So, here's my situation, I'm returning to school. This means that I will only be available to work wednesday through friday and every other saturday. This will leave me with only 4 days off a month, plus I will only be able to see my wife on 2 of them. So, that really sucks. My main concern is whether or not my new boss will find this acceptable.

So, I was worried about money, now I'm worried about having too much work poured on me. The upside to all of this is the potential to work my way up the latter in this new company since I'm getting in pretty close to the ground floor. So, best case scenario, my new boss might have me move right into the office once I have my degree. The other thing that sucks about that though is that Al will probably be really disappointed with the fact that I'm phasing out carpentry....to some degree. I think I'll always be involved in the industry in some way, but I would really like my career path to be more administrative. We shall see what happens and where God is going with all this.
