Brutal! Really sorry to hear that. Sounded like you liked it.

Thanks man. Almost 20yr long profession, and I think this is finally what's gonna get me to switch things up.

You should maybe try Nursery work - there are companies out there that supply plants for reclamation projects.

Funny enough, one of the few gigs I applied to while waiting to hear the news from my boss was in fact a reclamation project, helping with the large dam removal here in OR. They had filled the position already tho. But that is the kind of career pivot I'd love to make!

But, I do love me some harebrained schemes! I'm all ears if you hear of anything.

Moving back to the city will be good for me - it's where all my people and support networks are, it's just not what I'd prefer to be doing long term.

Glad you have a support network and people there. Going it alone in a city sucks - did that during my grad studies.

I'll keep chewing on your job idea problem, and see what I can come up with.
