Has,nt sunk in yet

I,m a journeyman plumber. Been a journeyman 30 years doing residential homes and light commercial. Plan layout,takeoffs and code adherence are my forte. Neglected getting my journeymans for 20 years because boss said he wouldnt be comfortable as this could be a conflict of interest. Now I need to submit to the state for an exam date. Then wait for their next masters testing date. May take up to two months.Just have to survive till then and hopefully I can put out my shingle then.thanks all for the ideas and support.Halliburton or Brown and root may be options because with my kids grown i,m not afraid to travel.
