Ok, so I'm in quite the situation here and I'd reallly appreciate the input.
I currently work for Environment Canada in a job I hate. Not being one who likes sitting around waiting for things to happen, I applied for the CF and a CS-1 position at CCRA at the same time... turns out I got both.
Now I'm torn.
A part of me says go CS-1
Pros:
- $47K a year
- I get to stay with friends, family and girlfriend
- I get to snowboard and wakeboard every weekend
- I don't have to wake up at 5:00 (I love sleeping)
Cons:
- I don't want to be a drone in the gov.
- I want a challenge
- I want a drastic change of pace
Then a part of me says go CF
Pros:
- A challenge
- More rewarding
- I get spec. pay when training is done(~$52K/year)
- I'll meet new people
- I'll learn new things that most people will never learn in their life
Cons:
- I leave my friends, family and girlfriend for a while
- Wakeboarding and snowboarding will be reduced to almost none.
- I'll have to wake up at 5:00am (Which I can do no problem, it's just not plesant)
- I'll be making substantially less then I would be making as CS-1 for the first 2 1/2 years.
What would you do??
