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

Four weeknights away per a month for a job making $20k v. staying in a job that is a dinosaur and will continue to dry up losing as much as $10k? Money is not everything, but you can make a a lot of memories on weeknights you are home and weekends with that extra $20-$25k. That’s two or three extra trips a year.

100pct this. My dad traveled a lot. I do, too. He would take me when he could in the summers. I loved it. You have to have a talk and explain the give/take of life. We can have a cabin or a few trips a year to the beach and a Denali, or I can be home every night and we go on vacation every other year. Take your pick.

I know my parents loved seeing us grow up and learn to walk, ride a bike, etc... That's cool. Every kid did it. You know what? It is great when I can call my dad and talk shop and review work projects.
