[QUOTE="Branhammer, post: 14504989, member: 164970"] Those commission estimates they give you are always best case scenarios. When I sold cars, I was always told I could make $80k-$120k a year. Yeah right. At a dealership with 20 salespeople, 2-3 make in that range. Everyone else is in a revolving door. I would say happiness is much more important. I had a choice back in April to take either a GS-9 position with the ANG as a maintenance analyst, where I get every holiday off (even Columbus day), a 4-10 work week, a guaranteed 40-hour week (except on drill weekends, which I have to do no matter what full-time job I take), an hour lunch, an hour to go work out in the gym on base for free, my own office with 2 subordinates, and some seniority since I've been a traditional guardsman here for 2 years and in the military for 6... OR A job working for NOAA working on ASOS as a GS-10, with potential to go up to GS-11, but with mandatory OT, 5-day work week, and a lot of outdoor work in the elements, which I've really had enough of working on flight lines. And I would've been a true noob there. The difference was between $5k-$12k, depending on grade/step level. I took the analyst job and I don't feel like I'm at work most of the time. Hell....I'm talking on a FORUM right now. Finished most of my work for the month over a week ago. [/QUOTE]
