I disagree. The amount of knowledge, creative thinking and deadline pressures you have to deal with on some of these Engineering projects is far greater than any high school teacher will experience I can tell you that. [/quote]
I spent two years teaching HS math and CS between 1996 and 1998. I would do it again if I had to, but it was way more stressful than the rest of my career, including 15 years of software engineering.

The one recommendation I would have is to get microfiber fabric on the couches, especially if you have kids.[/quote]

We do have kids. The set I linked seemed convenient. It is bright, but the pillows are microfiber, can be bought separately, they can be flipped and taken off and washed.
Ashley’s, Jerome’s, Mor and few other places carry the stuff that fits in the budget. I wish I could spend more, but we just bought this place and there are a few things asking for my attention.
I plan to get the dinning set through CL. I would prefer not to purchase used living room set.

I can’t help but wonder if the Govt. disagrees and at least holds jobs for these guys, or if we thumb our noses at them after they’ve served their sentences.[/quote]
