You go, boy!

My only concern would be, would they pay you *enough*? I
suspect you'd still get more in private industry--though you'd
enjoy this a lot, and it might be the ideal way to ride out the
recession until the right career job came along.

Though . . . the last time I saw you working in private industry . . .
why not hang onto this thing?--might be good.
