Hi all --
I have decided to send a note out to my Martin Logan brethren regarding this... I have a possible opportunity to go work in a much more stable environment for a lot more money. My company is sending a lot of things overseas. It seems like I may be the last person standing - but at some point if the economy does not pick up - I'll probably get drop kicked too...(think automotive industry).... I think I am safe till year end - but after that it is a crapshoot....
So, this opportunity comes up to go 4 days somewhere else (hour and fifteen plane ride) - for close to double the money. It is right up my alley - and in an area where there is a big safety net. I have 1 in college - and 1 that is 2 years away. I see my 16 year old 1/2 the time and this would proabably take 1 day away from that. My wife works till 8pm three days per week currently.
Those of you with job travel experience - and even those without...How about chiming in - giving your thoughts, experiences. I ask myself if it is worth it? From a career / job / economic sense - it makes all the sense in the world... but then we have the family - but, I have an economic responsibility to them as well.... Do I sit tight and wait - or do I grab this up?
I'm not an idiot - I wouldn't make the decision based on a message board - but, would just like some input from those that have experienced it - or have thought about it....because I think many of us are in - or may be in the same boat... Thanks A Bunch - Tim.
