NonmormonYfan89

I’ve done it, didn’t mind the travel. I actually enjoyed it

CBaass

Not worth it. You won't get that time back with your child.

Did it ~2 years ago. Got a 70% pay bump. Quit after 8 months, wasn't worth it.

Even if single it’s a bad idea

YOHONOMOTO

In your opinion, why?

NonmormonYfan89

Spouse? Young kids? Former, maybe. Latter, no.

Global? Probably. Domestic? Doubtful.

Tokolosh

6:27pm

Global would be more of draw for you? Interesting it would be less for me

NonmormonYfan89

6:28pm

Absolutely.

Tokolosh

That’s awesome! I love traveling the states lol. Traveling out of country that

Also, it can’t be sales. I’m not cut out for sales and wouldn’t survive that kind of role.

Me either! I’m a biomedical tech. I currently work in a manufacturing setting.

Monday to Friday? Or Monday to Thursday?

Monday through Thursday

NonmormonYfan89

I’d honestly consider that for sure

JohnnyComeLately

Let me get my kids out of the house and my wife and I would be all over that.

Will it lead to better opportunities? If so, how long?

Cougar Jazz Fan

I think so. I think it’d only be real real travel heavy for 2 years tops.

NonmormonYfan89

Sounds like a great gig for someone who hates spending time with their family.

Coincidentally, it’d give me more time with them than I have now. I work nights.

NonmormonYfan89

Go for it then.

Would it be possible to get a companion pass and have your wife and 1 year old

I used to do traveling sales and know dozens of guys who did it for 10 plus. Only 1 or 2 got divorced.

Yes, everything is about your last salary. Even if you do it for 6-12 months,

Interesting perspective no one has shared yet I will consider this! Thank you!

NonmormonYfan89

7:34pm

What type of travel? And where to?

Just around the states, to hospitals mostly. M-T

NonmormonYfan89

My kids are older now, so I’d consider it for that kind of money. Especially
