Talked to my friend Mike last night:
-Well the job is in West Palm Beach.
-The job is 2-4 years. (I posted it above it's a Roofing/Siding/Window company that opened up an office down there because of the hurricanes that happened this past summer and it'll take 2-4 years to finish all the work that needs to get done)
-First month is Training. ($300 a week)
-1-3,000 a week after that since I'd be new.
-Cost of living is $800-$1000 for 2 bedroom apartment, or $1200 for 2 bedroom townhouse with attached garage, same as here.
-Work 6 days a week (sundays off)

The way I figure it I've been working here at Nash for 6 years. I've been given the opportunity to earn the same amount of money in a 1 year time frame.

Look at how much I've done in that 6 years. (I haven't even been into DSM's for that long 5 years) - so much could change in the next 6 years. Unless something drastically changes here at Nash Finch I had no intention of staying anyways.

I know I'd regret not taking this job if I passed on it, given how much I've done in the last 6 years and given the future I'm looking at if I stay. Like some of you said I'm still young and I don't have a family to think about yet. So now is the time to take advantage of that freedom. And if things don't work out I can always move back.
