That's what I'm trying to do, start a dual store front for screen printing and the other opportunity if it develops wuzmop@xxxxxxx wrote: Are you an entrepenerial (sp?)type?

(where I work and print t-shirts) will be closing it's doors at the end of the month. I have some ideas of what I want to do next. I have been offered a position with Gulf Coast Promotions (The company that bought the embroidery and screen printing equipment from DLI) to continue to run the production plant. I also have another possible opportunity to go into business for myself. Just not sure which career path to take. 1) Do I look for another job in the printing industry?? 2) Do I take the job doing screen printing and embroidery??? 3) Do I pursue going into business for myself???? Been losing sleep over this dilemma for a few nights now. Opinions?
