Whats more important in a job?

[The Dad Fisherman]

here's a couple of intangebles.....not that they mean much but it does make it interesting.

The one with the better salary is right on the water and the work hours are 6:30 to 3....so I'd be home by 3:30 everyday

the one with the better bennies has semi-flex time...as long as your in between 7-10....so I could fish every night until 2 and still get 6 hours sleep before work.

It's like trying two choose between two hot blonds. You can't lose either way, but your going to wonder what the other would have been like.

Buckman,
Why not just bed them both.

I too believe it's the entire package that works best for you and your family. In my situation, I feel like I am stuck but have little to complain about. I've been at same high tech company for over 20 years, starting at 23 out of college. Now I am one of the main managers with flexible hours and a good salary. To leave now would probably mean less money, but less responsiblity, and I would lose my comfort zone. I must admit, I would like to change careers and move closer to the water, but now is not the time. My job so far has been independent of the economy (wealthy family ownership). With two young kids and a mortgage, I have too much to risk just so I can fish more. In fact where I work, there are many of us with 10 or more years there so we have it pretty good.

From watching the news with 1000s of layoffs a day, just having a job is the most important thing these days !
