JB, you definitely are right about that, economics will play a major role. However, my current position is one that dictates that I have to take any chance I get to make myself look better to any department that might want to hire FT'ers in the future. This is just another thing to add to the resume, I am still young enough where I can do these things. Hopefully, the economy doesn't stay in the tank forever.
On a side note, I did hear that those guys that got laid off in the academy for NB will get to keep there jobs after all...thats good for them.
I guess you could say I live by the "Beggers can't be Chosers" Motto at this point in life.
