How long do you intend to work down the line?

Well if only my occupation would allow me to earn a helluva lot of money. In answer to your question I would work for about 45 years in a 8 hour day job (teaching for me) and then retire to a life of country living with my pets around me.

Not to be harsh, but you are the one who let it get to this point.  At three weeks away, there is nothing you can do but go through with it or call it off.

After years of moving around advancing my career, I finally decided to "Marry" a company and settle down for the long haul.  Like I told them during my interview, I was interviewing them far more than they were me as it was my intention to retire here.\n\nI'm being groomed for my boss's job who's own retirement will be in about 5-6 years.\n\nI have a beautiful fiance and thus far, my tenure here is looking pretty good.\n\nIn five years, I see myself in my first home, married to my beautiful Stacey and running my department.  I'm looking forward to having the roots that I've had to keep unearthing at the expense of the career.  Now, I've put my time in and can settle back and build the longevity it takes to become a Senior VP at one the world's largest corporations.\n\nOh yeah, it's coasting time Baby !    ;-)\n\nP.S. --\n\nVery thoughtful question.  Thanks for the opportunity to share.

Only if you are going to use it and keep using it as long as you have a contract.\n\nOtherwise, enjoy.

Have patience: don't expect your efforts to come to fruition of your goal immediately.  Keep working at it, for even Roman Empire wasn't built in a day.

I'll assume quiting is not an immediate option.  Otherwise you would have probably done that already.  So, I would suggest you use any down time you have to work on "your plan".  Your plan for getting the job you would most enjoy.  The plan will no doubt include financial goals, education goals, and maybe relocation goals.  \n\nThen set a time-table for yourself.  And maybe some milestones at which point you would reward yourself with something special.  Then, everyday concentrate on how well you are doing against your plan.  \n\nBefore you know it, you will have completed your plan and heading to a new situation.\n\nBest of luck.
