[quote="4PackGirl"] it's a decision that alot of unemployed people wish they could make.

I kind of wish I had a better opportunity right now. My last day at work will be Wednesday. I've been at this place 15 years. Now I'm going to be looking for work again and I live in Michigan (no jobs here) with a son about to start College at Western Michigan University. My only opportunities are out of state. One very good opportunity just happens to be in Greenbay.I would be over 4 other designers. But... That means moving away from my son. I just can't bring myself to do that. I turned down the job so I could stay close to him.

Anyway. With your daughter being as young as she is it's the best time to move. Kids make friends fast. Once they become teens it's harder to pry them away from what they have become accustom too and the friends they have grown up with.

Well Zombie. I took the 70 year old me's advice and turned down the supervisors job. I'm taking the money and leaving. There are other designers jobs out there and I'm going to get one of them.


Cheers.

What do you design? TShirts? Hats? Hoodies? By chance? ;)

Didn't even see this post. Sorry about that.


I design packaging. I design everything from point of purchase displays you see in store endcaps to cartons that ship overseas with 2 V6 engines in them for Ford.

Oh yeah.....One more thing. I did turn down a job in Green Bay to work for Green Bay Packaging. As much as I would love to live in Green Bay I don't see me moving in the near future.

Just looking through old post and came across this. I forgot about it .

Quick update.

I took the money and left. I paid off a bunch of things with the severence package and am buying a new car. I need a new car because my new job is a 68 mile one way drive. That's 136 miles a day to and from work. I'm looking for something that gets 30 plus miles per gallon.

The main thing is I am working again at the same pay as the job I left plus I paid off a number of things and still banked a pretty good sum of money for my sons college.

I just hope the drive doesn't get to me. Especially in the West Michigan winter.

How far do you drive to work? (Really...I am curious.)

I started taking a new route to work avoid towns for time.. the days I don't have to pick up the kids from Daycare and school.. 76 miles round trip... days with kids picked up.. 88 miles round trip.. so not as bad.. but still takes a chunk of the day.

But most of the time.. that is the only "quiet" time I get so I soak it in. 😉

Isn't there anyone out there driving an hour one way?

The cars you guys are picking out are a bit above my pay grade.
I'm looking more towards a 4 cylinder front wheel drive with no bells and whistles daily driver. Something like a Ford Escort or VW Jetta. Something like that. I'm not trading anything in. At that point I will have 5 cars in my driveway. All are in my name. It's all about quantity. Not quality. 🙂

1.5 KM bike ride to work. 1.5 KM bike ride to the bus station. Then an hour long tour of 1/6th of the country to get to school.

But, anyway, Jettas are cool. My step-dad used to drive a 1997 one. Very reliable and decent car. Then again, that goes for nearly all VW's.

If you feel like you want to save the environment and look like Batman while doing it, though, check out this car.

36 feet from my bed to my office chair, if I wake up on the near side of the bed. It's a tad bit longer of a commute if I'm on the far side, so I try and plan accordingly. :tongue3:
