I think some people need to take a good hard look at themselves on here.
When I left my job of 5 years a year ago everyone thought I was crazy
"why, you've been there 5 years, you'll never work with these sorts of people again, you'll be bored, who wants to work in the tax office, you'll not have any fun its a pay cut".
I left anyway and LOVE what I currently do.
When I told people I was leaving to move to a job as an fa I got it all again - why its such a pay cut, what if you dont like it the people wont be the same
etc etc etc
BUT I need to do what makes me HAPPY.
If chewy LOVES flying, but doesnt really get along with the people she works with or isnt happy then what does the money matter?
All in to be an fa my pay would have dropped by over 10k in 14 months.
With one airline it was a 14K drop in pay.
And I'd still take it to try, and see if I liked it and if it made me happy.
the pay in a job ins't everything - your quality of life is what's important, or else what can Chewy say? Sure, I'm miserable, but GEE I've got good money and great conditions?
