[QUOTE="TooTechie, post: 1073468, member: 28388"] Need some advice/input. I lost my main job back at the tail end of 2009. I've been working two jobs ever since. I'm an insurance adjuster during the day and love it but it only pays 46K per year then I work inside in the hub 3rd shift part time sorting getting like two 2 hour naps a day between jobs trying to make up some of the money I was making before. I got the call today offering me a full time driving job. The job starts the day after New Years (Wednesday). Assuming I pass the road test & dot physical my concerns are: Not being able to give my current employer a decent notice $4/hr loss of pay taking 2 years to get back where I am now creating a financial hardship What if I don't hit proficiency within 30 days and lose the driver job after quitting my main job Quitting a job as an insurance adjuster that I truly enjoy, to drive in the heat, cold, rain, etc. Assuming I won't get home until after 7pm as a driver & never seeing the kids not being able to go to kids school concerts & what not? Now, the pros as I see them would be after 3 years when I'm at top pay it will be really good money, way more than I'm making in insurance. having only 1 job and actually getting a normal night's sleep after 3 years of hell. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
