I'm the exact opposite. Put me on a plane every week where I can either relax, watch a movie, or work. Sitting in the car is just wasted working hours where you still have to work.




Im not the one who downvoted you, fwiw.. I know people like yourself who prefer air travel.. ive never liked it though, because of the hassle of getting to the airport early, going through security , waiting around some more, then trying to squeeze into the ever shrinking airplane seats.. THEN inevitability sitting next to the sickie who’s coughing up a lung (this was true for me even pre-Panny) or the crying baby.. and none of that even takes into account the delays, which seem to happen with more frequency.. …. as a control freak- i mean ‘control enthusiast’, in a car im able to control just about everything, including departure time and cabin temperature …. Different strokes i guess .

I'm in a similar situation but with different caveats. I have an opportunity to slide over to our sales group. Significant pay bump. Greater than the $20k mentioned here. The catch is that you are tied to the phone and computer. It is truly a 24/7 industry. Travel would probably only be five days a month but the phone, emails, need to be tied to a computer are honestly 24/7.

My wife has a high level job so her work hours are significant. 08:30-6:00'ish sometimes.
