Hello everyone and Merry Early Christmas
Just curious from everyone, what is the most miles you would ride on your scooter to your workplace?
I was offered a job that I applied to that is twenty miles one way from my location working at a cable company technical support call center. The pay is Excellent at $20.00 an hour with multiple opportunities for advancement and pay plus free cable internet and TV. I currently work at a nursing home and have been for four years making twelve dollars an hour as a resident companion (someone who makes beds, Feeds residents, Etc.
I have a BA degree in criminal Justice and have no interest being in the nursing field as a nurse or a CNA. Personally, I think it is too hard on your body for what you make plus it doesn’t help that the nursing home that I work at is one of the lowest paying homes in the state of Missouri as well as people leaving at a rapid pace due to not wanting to work in healthcare field due to the low pay and the constant short staffage. In addition there is little room for advancement at this company without being inside the nursing field.
On the other hand, I was offered a job at Walmart in the Auto Department changing tires, Batteries, Headlights, and oil. This location is only six miles one way from my house and pays at eighteen dollars. However, my middle brother works at the same location and states it is not worth what they pay you for work that you do.
As someone who is absoutly terrified of change I find it very difficult to do anything out of the ordinary but I know If I want to grow I need to step out of my confort zone. What would you do if you were in my shoes and do you think that it is worth it to ride my scooter or should I just travel by car?
