It's what I have been doing for the past 10 years though. I do like the research and development area of it though.
I had an interview for an research and development job earlier this week. I like the idea of the job, but I did not enjoy the hour drive each way. I have no desire to move to that area either as it is out in the middle of nowhere. I am not really sure whether I am going to take the job if I get it. I had another job interview this week in quality. Although I am less passionate about that area, it is a much shorter drive and probably pays more.
