re: OT dads with small kids and a job that travels, how do you like it?

Works best when you do it for the extra money not when you need the money. See countless young guys get to where they have to work out of town and need overtime just to pay the bills. Best advice I got when I was coming up is make sure you can live off 40 hours. Don’t buy that $80k truck and $100k camper when you’re making big money. Won’t be able to afford it when you’re at the house.
