    Go to sqlpass.org and do a search for user groups in your area. You could make some good contacts there.

    Now Registered for a SQL Saturday in Minnesota Sept 29th. Not Local to where I am now but it is my homestate and the place I desire to live. I will definately be checking out local user Groups. Thanks for that Advice.

    When you are interviewing, be prepared to articulate precisely why you chose this specific career path. People who succeed over the long haul are the ones that do things for the right reasons. Motivation (desire) is the basis for everything.

    Thanks Great Advice!

    Whatever you do, don't say you're doing it for the money. It makes you a future "flight risk".

    Well, it definatley is not just the money. Though providing better for my family is certianly a desire. Really I just don't feel like I am using the intelligence God gave me in near enough capacity. Looking for more of a challenge and I love seeing code actually work and knowing I had a part in it.

    Thanks Agian you all! Hopefully I will find someone willing to take a chance on an unexperienced guy. I do know I fight the stereotype of your typical plumber. But most assuredly I am not your typical Plumber.

    **Ha! Edited becuase my code did not work! Will I have success this time?**

    **Third Time is a Charm. Why will typing in my own ' [ ' and ' ] ' not work? Just Curious.....
