I have an opportunity to make some decent money ($30-35,000) but I need training first. The training is in Louisville, KY. I will have to find my own way there, pay for my own lodging (<>$300) and then get back here again afterwards.
Once I get this job, I will have to stay there a minimum of one year to work off the training fees. Once that is done I can choose to remain there, or take my training and go to some other company. Two years of experience would be better, as that's a common minimum experience level in the industry.
Or, I can stay where I am, making minimum wage at Quiznos.
What to do, what to do. I have until three pm on Friday to decide.
Go with the money
... or go with the bird in hand approach
I also worry that my car won't make a 1200 mile round trip, over at least one big mountain. I guess I *could* go Greyhound, and take a cab from the station to the facility...or mebbe Amtrak will get me there. I'd rather have a vehicle available when I arrive...I'm just that kind of guy, ya know? I prefer to have transportation on demand if possible. I don't know about the public transport in Louisville. I'll check on it. Looks like a late night doing research. Oh yeah, no internet access while I'm there too.
