    Well would I? Yes I would but i'm 32 and have no wife no kids, and no girlfriend.

    I'll be straight with you, kids are affected by parent absence, it will affect your kids.

    I'm pretty sure I'd make the call based on what my wife and kid thought.. not what a gambling forum thought.

    250 miles to cover on local? That might be more time consuming of a commute depending on where u live

    Wouldn't do it. She can find out she doesn't need u. Also you can make over 100,000 staying home. If kids or wife got sick then you wouldn't be able to forgive yourself.

    Do it. Why not? You can balance. Especially since your kid is still so small. The key is to be home when they get to that age where you need to be around to watch and teach.

    I'm on road 20 days out of 30.

    Depends how much you currently make. I would say no because they can't move with you. Family is moe important than money period.

    I just read the above comments. My 3 year old is everything to me. If money is more important yo you than the growth and love of your child, go for it. My kid is autistic and I'd spit on that 250k.

    will it keep your scummy liberal ass in California?

    That is all anyone should be asking. Will you be locked up with the rest of the crazies or are you going to spread your disease to another state?

    Geez brooks, that's a but harsh no? Every other week sounds like parents that are divorced but it's a tough question. Things like extended family in the area would be tipping points imo

    In my field, there have always been jobs like that... that require travel and pay $175k-$250k. I never went that route because of my kids, and I knew I would eventually make that and more staying in my current role.

    If I didn't have the chance to get there without travel, I would have considered it.

    Personal choice, my friend. What does your wife think?

    Is the 250 guaranteed or "at plan" ? I'm assuming this is a clinical role in a sales organization.
