Hello, I was wondering if I could get some advice from some outsiders. I am a 30 year old living in an affluent NJ suburb. I have a wife, 9 year old, 1 year old and baby on the way. I currently work for my townships DPW. I have been working there three years almost going on my forth. It really isn’t a bad job but it’s typical government. Everything is slow, guys want to milk jobs, skills learned are minimal. I have a degree in business management and finance and after a rocky ending at my last position, this role kind of fell into my lap. I have been here because I do have very good benefits and I have an awesome work life Balance where I’m home at 3 everyday to spend time with my family. I get 10 vacation days along with a buttload of sick time, OT that gives me another 2-3 weeks of PTO every year and I don’t kill myself physically. Now my problem is though that I’m beginning to hate my job. Dumb politics, tedious work, and terrible management has just led to a terrible work environment. Now everyone tells me to suck it up, another job like this won’t come again and I do understand that but I’m also very limited salary wise. I only make 50k and in the NJ/NYC area that’s peanuts, especially having a wife that isn’t working because she’s pregnant and home with the kids. Do I put my resume out there and go back to a 9-5 lose my family time with my kids and lose out on a pension or do I get back out in the private business with the chance of being able to make more money and grow in private business? Do I stick it out and get a part time? My job really isn’t that bad but everyone just sucks and I’m still young and hungry to learn and want help businesses grow and I feel that the longer I wait I’m just wasting time if I want to get back into the corporate world if I just continue being a laborer and not gaining any skill. Any advice on how you guys see it or what you would do? Thanks so much.
