Would you move to a very boring city to take a job?

I don't see how in this time of a crappy economy you could pass up getting paid more and paying less on rent. Unless you are just making a couple hundred grand already and it doesn't matter.

Make the sacrifice, J. Seriously. If you can hole up and get some shelter during this financial storm, few things are as important as that.

Assuming you're single and in your 20s, I'd stay.

You only get to have fun for a limited time. You can make money while hating your life for the rest of it.

How much of a difference is it?

I am sure there are plenty of places to get drunk in Sac. You might as well save up and in the future you will have the money to buy maybe a nicer car or a big @$$ tv

If the money is that much better, without a doubt. I don't care how boring a city is...if the money is good, it will make everything that much easier and the city will look that much better. Hell, you could travel every weekend if need be.

Although another good point was made. You're only young once. Once you start moving up the ladder, the less free time you have. My father always told me this when I was younger and started working out of college - "You have no idea how much free time you really have right now...make sure to spend it making yourself better". I thought "That's crazy...I'm working 8-9 hours every day and am too tired to do much when I get home". Now I can only laugh at how clueless I was. I've worked my way into Sr. level positions managing large scale IT projects for a fast growing company and 8-9 hour days are non-existent. 11-12 hours most days with 5-6 hours most Sat/Sun from home is the norm. Of course the money is way better, but the lack of free time sucks. So there's always that to consider (if you have ambitions of being in Sr. level or Mgmt type positions - it's certainly not for everyone).

Why don't you make a temporary stop down there and see what it's like. If everyone's ******** then it's up to you. But I would make the move for the money. No hesitation whatsoever IMO.

No doubt about it. I was raised in a boring town so I'm used to it.

might not have to move there after all.

keep your fingers crossed for your boy.

Those are pretty much the two worst investments outside of timeshares.

I'll take the job. Racist or not a good "kiss my black BLEEP" and a shotgun will take care of that. And I have NO PROBLEM using either or both.

You make a great point...I personally "work to live" not "live to work", so I don't think I could deal with the 12 hour days and not much free time on weekends. I like my job but I don't want to live there. No matter how good the money is, it's not worth it when you don't have time with family, friends, etc to spend it.

That attitude won't get me promoted to CEO or management anytime soon, but I like my quality of life, so it's a trade off.

Some people enjoy nice cars and big TV's, so it's not a bad investment to them.
