#1 My doctor has not cleared me to go back to work yet.

#2 I need to devote my time to earning that college degree. I should graduate in Aug 2005.

#3 Most new STL IT jobs are low paid with no overtime pay, I am hearing feedback about them from friends of mine who took them and got jipped and had to look elsewhere. Also a lot of these jobs require low experience and they are rejecting the people who have 3 years or more in VB/ASP because they will want too much of a salary.

#4 The new IT jobs require at least a four year degree, which I do not have yet. See #2 for more info.
