Thanks a lot Pauly09, I only ask because I have so much ambition and hard work in me to give and like you said I want a better quality of life. I’m taking a pay cut if I do join so I wanted to know a simple question. I understand what Dartsrob is saying, but I started at the bottom when I began sca...
