Prob is tightening my belt doesn't correlate with enjoying my life ahah JK

What do you do now?

Short term pain for long term gain. :wink:

Lot of interesting posts in this thread.

One thing I have heard is that you don't want to switch jobs in a recession. Just something I heard from a few sources, but is the recession over... who knows? ahah

I don't know... it's a fine line. I had a job I loved but it just didn't pay the bills... well... it did but that was all it paid, and long term it'd be harder on my body. But now with my new job my body is getting soft from sitting at a desk all day? Everything has pros and cons and familiarity breads contempt. I'd personally rather suffer at work each day and have the money to fully enjoy my own time but maybe that opinion will change in a few more years. I'm all for finding a job you love but not for less money. And in a lot of cases, anything you did love you begin to hate when it become your job.

I don't know? I kinda flip back and forth on this issue?

Something that I wish I considered more when younger was a pension. I got on with the Public Sector and now older, sure happy I did, just wish I would have joined sooner. Whatever career you choice, there is life after work to think about.

Great solution!
 

Since you are a tech you should think about getting on the other end of the wrench and buy a Snap-On Tools franchise.

I was a lab monkey doing quality control and now I am an IT Administrator.

there were a bunch of Geologest jobs out here a month or so a go. If you willing to move you should have no problem getting a job in that field.
