I'm not sure how you deal with decisions like these. But me being a Christian, I always pray about big decisions like that. Money is great, and security and money are even better. But some unknown aspects such as co-worker personalities and stress levels of the environment can be the deciding factors on whether you enjoy your job or not. I'd rather make $50,000 and have peace of mind, than make $100,000 with high stress levels and frustration. Too many people sacrifice these very things, at the expense of their family and loved ones as well, for more money. Then they realize in the end that peace of mind has far greater value. But whatever the case, I hope you are happy in whichever decision you make. [sm=smiley20.gif]

 

No problem Forty...yah 25 an hour is about average for an upscale bar/or a bar that has TONS of security issues. Most bouncers just work 3 or 4 hours a night, have little to no responsibility of doing anything in the bar ( they dont clean up, they dont do trash, they dont rotate beer, they dont clear tables, they dont wipe down the bar and sweep) nothing so in order to find people who are going to take the job seriously you have to give them a reason to stay. Which is money lol.

I remember working in high school as a bouncer under the table working 18 hours a week bringing home over 450 a week. lol

 

I would take the job, i used promote my own club nights from a young age and its hard work and long hours but that wouldnt put me off for that amount of cash. Live life for now not waiting till your 44 or whatever.

 

That is stupid and immature, it is never to early to plan for your future never.

 

You misunderstand me. Hell yeah live for now and take a risk on a new job. With all the extra money he'll be earning he can save as much as he likes for the future. Your telling him to stay in a job for sercurity and so he can have a pension when hes old. If everybody did that then nobody would ever try something new or start their own bussiness/company etc and we would all be a pretty boring uninventive race would we not.

 

Your talking about leaving a good paying job to be a bouncer. Ok, there is a difference in not being agressive and going after something and keeping yourself from making a mistake.

 

No!!! Not the STi.


I hope everything goes well for you and Im sure whatever youll chose will be a well thought out decision

 

Money is great in all but u also have to be happy with what your are doing in life. so make sure that whichever one u choose is what u want to do and dont do it purely on the money. just my .02 cents. anyways good luck with whichever u choose.

 

Just wondering, dont u have to be 21 to work in a bar? and just do what u like man, if u like the job take it. if u wanna be a cop, stay. U wont regret it because u gotta do what u want to do. (I always do what I like)

 

no In MA you legally have to be 18. Even though when i started working I was 17 You can even work in 21+ strip clubs at age 18. You have to be 19 to work at the Sheriffs Office.
