A big concern of mine is that a big portion of that 15 years will likely be contract management. I'm not convinced I'll be able to jump back in the "lab" doing real engineering work after a prolonged period of PM work. Having said that, a 10 minute Midwest commute is very nice.
Thanks for the advice, you've given me some more things to consider.
