Rob- a final thought: it's great that you applied to Topps, but even if you get a job there it is no guarantee you will like it any more than your current one. I'm sure the Topps Company hires many drones to do the accounting, bookkeeping, and all the paper pushing that goes with corporate work. If you think they will be hiring you to design, print, and sort baseball cards it probably won't happen. It's a corporation and the day to day work can be as boring as anywhere else.
At least a job at an auction house, if such a thing is available, would allow you to handle a lot of neat artifacts. That could be fun. The year I worked at Sotheby's cataloguing the Halper Collection was one of the most challenging I've ever had, and even though I've had my own auction business for many years, I never handled as many rarities as I did there. Now that was fun.
