I'm gearing up to take on the big challenge.

The last time I worked in my industry was almost three years ago.

I just got a new job, thankfully. First paycheck is this Friday. (A day after I turn 19)

@ ALL   Thanks for the encouragement guys.  :)

I'm somewhat specialized in EDI claims processing.

For the last few years, I've worked on and off in the home construction  / remodeling industry. 
So this is a big step to get back in the game after such a long time off.

I've already had one recruiter tell me that I'll never work in the industry again.
He's not going to stop me from giving it my best.  :aok

Ok, you should look in Denver, CO.  Also, alone the west coast.

Thanks guys.  I'm focused right here in the Dallas area.  The wife has a good job, and both kids are in good schools.  I'm sure there's work here in my niche.  I just have to find it.  It will help if people in the industry are willing to believe that the American worker is capable of doing more than only what he did yesterday.
