So i received a offer from Geico responding to my resume on carreerbuilder.com, and i decided to look into it. Starting salery is anywhere between 28,000-30000, doing anything from claims to inspections. In its lowest thats a solid 7,000 more then i make a year and closer to 9,000 with the way my commision checks have been looking (thats factored into the 21k salery). My question is, is it wrong for me to consider leaving a job i dont mind doing simply for more money? I definently could use the bump in income, but is that enough of a reason to leave?

Nothing wrong about looking out for yourself. The increase in salary would be good, but more importantly is it something you can tolerate or see yourself doing?
