Spec R

I'm at a crossroads again.

I believe I have an opportunity to get another job in the same field for a bigger company (NBC - Univiersal).

Pros - over current job
$4.00+ an hour than what I currently make
Union job
Pension
More perks
I'll be able to go back to school.

Cons - over current job
Strict guidelines
Higher Stress
4pm-1230am M-F shift
Less socially entertaining


I currently work 730am-4pm M-F.

I guess the only thing really holding me back is my damn relationship. I told the GF about the opportunity and she got all pissed and walked out, since the last jobs I had swing shifts we fought like no tomorrow. Things were a bit different on her end though, but what gives? Whats wrong with making more money so I can start saving up and whatnot.

i would have to really think about whether i wanted to stay with a girl if she got that pissed over a potentially good career move (not saying this is one, but her reaction is concerning)

Goodluck in your decision man

I guess you have to ask yourself if money > happiness, or happiness > money.

spanky

agreed.

the shift isn't bad. you can do shit during the day so and you still have saturday and sunday off for social events.

you don't know shit about shitty shift til you've worked 6pm-6am friday, saturday & sunday for 2 months :rofl:

word i could understand if you had to move to an other city, or you would do a unethical job or something like that. But this is just a schedual problem

12:30 is not that late, you should be home in time to bone.

I would think
Does g/f=Happiness then use the equation above.

I think she should be supportive of what you want to do in life. And hey $4/hr more equals another $160/wk.

i worked graveyard sat/sun/monday nights 7pm-730am for 4 months, then a thurs/fri/sat/sun 2pm-1230am for another 6 months...so i do know

spanky

fri sat sun > sat sun mon

anyway, fuck her. you're making more money so she's a dirty whore if she thinks that's a bad thing. 8k/yr increase in pay is nothing to bitch about, regardless of shift change.
