life question for you bros..

[JOHN MATRIX]

i have a potential job that i need to decide if i want or not. the good part is...i will make 3-4 times what i make now (still nothing impressive lol), and will be able to have a fairly nice lifestyle for myself. now heres the catch. it will be in a different city which i dont much care for, and will require me to sit on my ass all day long staring at a computer for 8-9 hours per day doing horribly monotonous, soul-killing 'office space' style work.
i despise this kind of work but the money would be a real life saver. what do you suggest based on your past choices?

[Agnostic007]

Wouldn't do a job I hate for 3 times what I make.. as long as what I make pays the bills and keeps me in diet pepsi vanilla.

that's why they have drugs.

Freedom>Money and being tied down/bored/soul destroyed

[stuntmovie]

A bit of a cliche here, John, but go with your heart!

I've found out that that's about as deep as you can go when making important decisions.

There's a good song about that somewhere out there.

I think some guy by the name of Sinatra sang it in some dumb ass movie I wasn't in.

[JOHN MATRIX]

yeah i know, but i never want to be one of those typical 'get home from the job and start drinking till i feel calm then pass out in front of the tv until the next day it starts over again' type standard american working man types.

[GRACIE JIU-JITSU]

 Sometimes money isn't everything.

[The Showstoppa]

A job ain't nothin' but work.

[CalvinH]

Those used panties don't pay for themselves...

Go with your heart John I have worked office IT jobs for awhile I hate every damn minute of it.

[Ex Coelis]

give it a shot - you might like it

a new job in a new city is an exciting opportunity

also, save the extra money in case it doesn't work out

[El Diablo Blanco]

If the job won't make you happy the money won't either.  At first you might be jacked to have more cash, but if in a month you want to hang yourself from boredom then it's not worth it.

[The Showstoppa]

Can you return to the line of work you do now if it doesn't work out?  If so, why not give it a shot.

On the flipside, I had a job straight out of college and grinded my way thru 1 year.....it sucked ass and I was one of those drink after work every single day guys.....

[JOHN MATRIX]

i had a job similar to this recently and yeah i wanted to hang myself, i remember being completely drained every day, tired after work, every morning, etc..didnt feel like lifting...but thing is this one will pay much more and i need that right now. so yeah, maybe ill do it for a while and build up a nice savings, then move on...
maybe i can just go the coffee/Stimulant route like most people and snort some lines of NOEXPLODE every morning and at lunch?

The REAL question you have to ask yourself is "Will it interfere with my posting on getbig?"

yes showstoppa this is a heavy consideration, as it will cut down on my posting time severely

There is your answer John. What may happen is you will make more money and buy more things maybe more debt but you will hate everyday of your life been there and done that. You will want to quit the job everyday but if you are in debt you cant so a trap.

Naw, you should "plug" it knuckle deep... the effect kicks in faster.

[The Showstoppa]

Ouch......that changes the whole equation.

[tendonitis]

3 to 4 times your current salary?  Unless that new city is Detroit or Cleveland you should give it serious consideration.

Be very careful of this. I have coworkers who when they first joined spent all of their money on big trucks and partying. On top of that they now have families, no savings, and all kinds of bills. Even though they now hate their job they are in too deep and don't have the skills to leave yet maintain their lifestyle. Plus they rent housing because they didn't save enough for a downpayment on their own place. Instead it will take them forever to raise that money since most of it goes towards bills and beer.

probably depends on how much you like your current job.  if youve got your dream job already, then its not worth it..... but if you dont even like  your current job anyway then go for it.
