Re: Advice: which job to take?

To paraphrase some of the previous posters - and an old dead dude, Joseph Campbell: "Follow your bliss."

Mine was the space program - lots of tdy travel, spent days at a time sometimes on a rocket stand or vertical assembly building - long, short hours - thrilling, boring and sometimes downright irritating. Layed off at 49 - said ok - turn out(on?) the lights the party's over (dandy Don Meredith?) - became an ER.

Salary peak in 1992 - 60k.

I'm always happy to keep an eye on my spouse's flanks!

Re: Advice: which job to take?

When a much younger man, I was always keeping an eye on someone's spouse's flanks and other parts. All that is behind me now.
Lucky to be alive in some ways I suppose

I took the 40 hour a week job and I use my nights and weekends to get my MBA.
