I cant stand how easy and boring this job is. 8 years, and by the time I make a switch to full time flight I will probably have 13 years in this company. But I would give it all up just to be happy doing something I actually enjoyed. $ or not, nice car or not, I want to be happy when I work. So what if my car isnt brand new and flashy, I get to fly.
Your company matches 100% of what you put into your 401(k)?? Holy #$@!. That is a good deal. We only get 100% of 7%. You can save over $30k/yr in your 401(k) then, do that for another 10 years and retire early. %(#@ working!!
