I've been in the same business for 15 years. I started as a medical transcriptionist, and moved to supervisor, account coordinator, and now recruiter. I'm making $1000 less per year at this company than I made as an account coordinator at the last job. I don't have to do NEAR as much, don't get phone calls 24/7 anymore, but with 5 teenagers it still isn't enough to pay the bills.
My neighbor got a job as a flight attendant, and after one year (so she says) she will be making 10,000. per year more than I make. But, she has to fly all week to make that paycheck, then off on the weekends. Should I try? I need the money desperately so that hubby will stop working 120 hours per week, but I so hate to not see my kids all week long.
Is that selfish?
I say follow your heart and gut. It makes me crazy that our country is so screwed up that moms and dads both have to choose between seeing their children and making a buck. But your heart will lead you...
