So I think I might want to be a cabinetmaker, but I'm really just a
construction laborer right now. Kind of sucks but I really like
working with my hands and my wood so I figure why not try to get paid
for your efforts? In any event, I had a whole persuasive argument
prepared on the relative benefits of autonomy but now I've forgotten
it in favor of something unknown but less memorable.

No you misunderstood. He needs smaller than a cabinet saw as he wants to
grown in to it. It will need to be a tight fit.

Maybe one of those monster straight line rip saws would be best. I
did just crack 200 pounds here on earth.
What I think I want is a saw that can be tuned to do fine work, but
will eventually be relegated to field work - ie. ripping hardwood
flooring to width when needed. I understand that it's likely to need
frequent attention, but I figure it's a good learning tool in that
I'll be forced to learn how to maintain it. Which will make it that
much more fun to graduate to a cabinet saw, and eventually dedicated
rip/panel/crosscut saws.
I'd like to keep cost under $400, but again, it's value that's
important.

Also, I want to be a TS I can grown into but I can also use in the
field for a long time to come.

So you need a portable? Maybe if you can narrow it down to which class of
table saw you are considering and ask about a few specific models everyone
will be able to give you more focused advise.

Hmmm - you'd give up "bammin' sh*t together with a kick a$$ framing nailer
on bump-fire mode" for "hoidy-toidy resawing veneers"? :)

You must be very short. If you want to grow into it, a cabinet saw is your
best choice as it will protect you from the elements and has the most room
inside.
