thats like my exact position, only my job isnt totally cush, though its only as hard as i make it... it is recession proof... im not gonna lie im nervous as hell to go out there like i am, but if im ever going to change careers, now is the time...moya i like your stones, fucking tough shit moving randomly like that i hope it works out.
i too have been tempted to make a leap like that, i like the roustabout schedule and the better money...but i'm scared to walk from my cush job that is pretty 100% recession proof and guranteed decent pension.
though i'll never make 6 figs...and that's why i've been tempted
if i have to live out of my truck for two week hitches for 6 months- so be it...
