    What's the big difference benefits-wise? Would this impact your retirement plans at all? My main concern in my career is to retire as early as possible with as much cash as possible (so I can sail around in one of those little white sail boats off of Greece all day), so I'm going with which ever choice helps you there.

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    If I was living in USA, I'd hardly ever be thinking about risks I'd take. Chase the challenge, mister.

    P.S. Louis' idea is a bad one. People may even draw charicatures of yours to "test your tolerance" in such a circumstance.

    No politics please. We need a break from that - just poke fun at jobs and touring Europe on a bike.

    O well, seems like 'some' people decide to ruin a perfectly valid threat. Nice going guys... doc bean

    I forgot to warn all the European members if they vote for Touring Europe on a bike they have to be prepared for an ugly american house guest.

    Spoiler says shut up. Well understood.

    P.S. Louis' idea is a bad one. I'm not bothered with the wife part, however I recommend you to do Asians on a kite.

    You sound excited, Louis.

    I always thought a tolerable job was more important than pay. I'd take the new job if the job I had was comfortable, but crummy, or if I thought I'd have more fun with the new job. It doesn't matter what the pay is if I'm eager to get up every morning and head to work.

    I don't need near as much. Just enough to purchase a cabin along a river stream in the Rocky Mountains up along the Idaho, Wyoming, and Montana Border areas.

    However my wife wants the sail boat in the Med type retirement herself.
