re: Taking a 40% paycut for your dream job

The unbolded part you quoted is what makes it make sense. I guess I should say I'd be home more often. Two week trips instead of two month trips away from home.

We can afford it in the sense that we wouldn't have to downgrade our house or cars but we'd have to cut back on vacations and probably put off buying a bigger house for a few years.
Well then without knowing the specifics, if it were me, I'd probably do it. Long-term happiness is priceless as long as you can pay your bills and save for retirement.

It makes sense. He's talking about being with family every two weeks instead of being gone for half a year in one stretch. That's something I wouldn't do

I'm sure you've heard of the company Roger. I think it's one of the biggest Alaskan based companies. Multi-modal transportation outfit. I'd be flying civilian C-130s.

I have learned the hard way through decades of career work that money and high stress jobs suck.
Go with the dream job and don’t look back. Life is too damn short.

You can't get back time with kids or make up birthdays, holidays, life events.
Its not a monetary amount, but it's worth everything in the long run.

More susceptible to layoff, 40% pay cut is this really a question. Shut the frick up, pit you head down and grind to retirement. You retire 5 years earlier in job one than job two baw

40% no way
Posted on 7/27/19 at 9:30 am to GeauxxxTigers23
One of my dream job standards would include a 40% increase in pay... not the other way around. You are doing this wrong.
Posted on 7/27/19 at 10:39 am to TT9
You are clearly the dumbest frick on here and that's saying a lot for a gump....stop posting in every thread

40% is steep, but if you have enough to meet your financial goals either way, you should give it hard consideration.
