New job decision of my own...
 

I have an opportunity to make some decent money ($30-35,000) but I need training first. The training is in Louisville, KY. I will have to find my own way there, pay for my own lodging (<>$300) and then get back here again afterwards.

Once I get this job, I will have to stay there a minimum of one year to work off the training fees. Once that is done I can choose to remain there, or take my training and go to some other company. Two years of experience would be better, as that's a common minimum experience level in the industry.

Or, I can stay where I am, making minimum wage at Quiznos. :greenface

What to do, what to do. I have until three pm on Friday to decide.

Go with the money :yelgreedy ... or go with the bird in hand approach :unsure:

I also worry that my car won't make a 1200 mile round trip, over at least one big mountain. I guess I *could* go Greyhound, and take a cab from the station to the facility...or mebbe Amtrak will get me there. I'd rather have a vehicle available when I arrive...I'm just that kind of guy, ya know? I prefer to have transportation on demand if possible. I don't know about the public transport in Louisville. I'll check on it. Looks like a late night doing research. Oh yeah, no internet access while I'm there too. :(

Christ go for it.

seems to me that upgrading your skills is worth sticking out a year or two in just about any job. louisville also had some enjoyable establishments to hang out in if memory serves correctly.

I have to agree with these guys. The trouble with choosing for short term needs ( ie staying in your current job ) comes in two years down the line when you would ( if you choose the new skills) have finished anyway *chuckles* thats when you think "sod...I should have taken the opportunity, I'd be qualified by now if I had" or words to that effect....Leastways that's my experience.

Perhaps I'm not the best person to comment here...but which one's going to get you what you want 'right now'...and which one's going to get you what you want 'down the road'?

have you thought about chucking it all for a life in the porn industry? i hear that can be lucrative. :eyebrow:

Or just lubricative ( I dont know but i think Ijust invented a word)

...And you can always go back to Quiznos.
Go for it!
