What would you do?

banu_okasha · 02-28-2008, 01:18 AM

You have two options,

1. You are offered a job as a business owner in a country that you do not like. The job is headache, you do not like it, and it is all day everyday, 15 hours daily. And it pays 70k$ a year, with very little expenses. Keep in mind that the business is constantly growing, perhaps in 1 year time that 70k$ will be 90k$ and then 100k$ and so on and so on.

or

2. You go and take a risk, work at something you like and forget the money. You strive to achieve your dream no matter what. It is tiresome aswell, but you are in persuit of your dreams.

What do you say Misc?

dreams number 2, seriously you can't work a job you don't like for longer than a year period.

^^thanks

bumping this for more replies

banu_okasha · 02-28-2008, 01:38 AM

nothing?

Idontakefishoil · 02-28-2008, 01:40 AM

obviously 2, provided "forget money" implies less immediate financial satisfaction and not "extreme poverty."

i dont know about 90k or whatever but if it was 200-250k i would take a job that i hated without a doubt for life

def 2nd man u only live once. you wanna live it earning money or doing what you love. its not a destination, its a journey

wrx_RA · 02-28-2008, 01:51 AM

it depends on the " feeling level " you get from the job you do. Why not be the Ceo of your own business. Why work a 9 to 5 job that may suck? pay decent money ( in your mind if you like to be an average person), and have to answer to a boss , and basically do what everyone else is doing?

or you can start a business you love doing, if you have the right setup youll be making millions if not more, you will have you own work schedual, you are your own boss, and you can have managers ( even as small as 1 ) to answer to you so you dont have to end up going to work to deal with many people.

I dont know its just a dumb rant... why have those 2 options when you can create your own option and live a great life thats better than any other option.

15 hours a day, 7 days a week, you hate the job & the Country???

For 70k per year???

I don't see two options...I see one clear decision and it has absolutely nothing to do with what is labeled as (1.) in the original post...

keep in mind this business is growing. that 70k in 2-3 years could be 120k and so on

EDIT: tax free

LOL Keep in mind that it could also NOT be 120k and so on, too...

Realistically, I doubt you'll make it there for 6 months let-alone 2 - 3 years...

BUT

It's your life...

lzer00nel · 02-28-2008, 03:07 AM

I'd like to say option two... but i've already had to make this decision.

I chose 1.

Though I will be going back to my dream job after i buy some more things I want.

EDIT: My job for option one was a lot more attractive than yours...

dachadperson · 02-28-2008, 03:08 AM

id take the second option, whatever makes you happy is what you should do

Al3xk · 02-28-2008, 03:09 AM

3. crash on an uninhabited island with a bunch of people and live there, survive on fish and fruit. no worries about anything.

i choose 3
