I can have the Nintendo rep job!

[Crash]

The position is finally opened up, and I can go for it and get a recommendation for the position by the current nintendo rep. I can have the job!!! One problem. This is the dream job of a lifetime isn't it? Yes, but here is my dilemna.

My CURRENT new job is awesome. I am going to be making about $7000 a month, get a free laptop, make my own hours, get free health insurance, and the people there are the coolest in the world.

The nintendo job would mean: i get paid about $1500 a month, have to drive on my own gas money, ...well there are no other disadvantages. But for the money difference, holy cow... seems there is no comparison. What do you guys think?

It's not like you'd always be stuck doing the Nintendo Representative job. If you stayed, you could be promoted.

Besides, working for Nintendo would be the coolest thing ever. I say, go for it, without hesitance.. if you think you could get back to your current position.. if you ever wanted to.

[Ace195]

I think you should stick where you are and e-mail me the link to apply for the nintendo rep job

[Vampyr]

Hmmm...

This is a huge dilemma.

"Follow your heart."

Lol, however corny that pharse might be, its been used A LOT, and for a reason. Its what you should do.

Whichever one you think is best for you.

Im personally a little greedy and love money. If it was me, I would stick with the high paying job...But thats just me.

[Canyarion]

I'd stick to your job too. Why leave something that's good for something that you don't know?
There's a huge money difference. Your collueges are nice, that's important.

Sorry Ace, you wouldn't last 2 seconds. I'll just take the job

[Ace195]

Die jon die, I swear if you go the job I would have to kill you.. In the nicest way possible.

[Rndm_Perfection]

Crash, you're kidding yourself and probably just wanting to share with us how your job makes working for Nintendo look like crap.


I would have to kill myself if I left a job I enjoyed, payed $84,000 a year (At your age?! Good God, now I understand why your room is so spiffy), had free insurance, and flexible hours to go out on a limb for an 18,000 job with minimal benefits and is related to a game company that is starting its road to struggle.


I will hurt you if you leave 84K for an 18K Nintendo job.


Oh yeah, just my opinion, right? No pressure.


P.S.

...have to drive on my own gas money...

What're you talking about? I hope it doesn't mean you're close to home and your parents pay for your gas. I mean seriously... You make about as much as a Safety Inspector at Nuke Plants. Hell... you make abut $40 per hour! It's not freakin' possible to drive that much in an hour.


EDIT: And one final word. Don't lose hope to your dream... just don't persue it now. If the work you do right now is prestigious, which it sounds to be, you shouldn't have trouble finding the road you want to end on. I wouldn't want to see you end up in a trap trying to find your way to the top by starting at the bottom again. Get your name known, and then find your spot high in Nintendo.

Keep your job man. 84000 a year compared to 18000 a year... HUGE difference.

You're on crack if you take the nintendo job. I'm always for follwing your dreams even if it means less money, but this is 1/4 of the money. If the nintendo job paid 35-40 a year I'd say go for it, but if you're making 84 there's no way you're going to be prepaired to take that kind of hit.

Are you married? Are you planning on it? Do you want to have kids ANYTIME in the next 10-15 years? Do you currently or do you want to soon own your own home. If you said yes to any of those, your're going to have a really, really hard time doing it on 18K.

[Joeiss]

Yeah, its a lot of money... Its like just over $100,000 Canadian... Which is quite awesome.

[Jason1]

I agree with pretty much everybody else, 84,000 is a whole lot of money, especially at your age. You would have to be pretty stupid to take that Nintendo job I would think.

Spoke the words right out of my mouth.

Stick with your normal job. For the sake of your life, screw the job over at Nintendo. Once you get married and have kids (if you're planning to), you'll thank yourself for sticking with your current job.

[Dylflon]

Well...if you do go to nintendo...you could tell us all sorts of neat top secret stuff.

Plus, there's probably some sort of career ladder. In 5 years you might even be making more money than you are now.

Or... or... you could not listen to fanboys =¬Þ
