Saving Stuff

I have just received a job offer from the MTA as a train operator with a starting salary of $27 an hour. I am?

presently working as a peace officer in a public library. I currently make about $35,000 a year, but my job is very easy and comfortable, which makes the day go by fast. My question is: what will it be like to drive a subway all day long? Is there anyone who knows what this position is like and can advise me before I make a big mistake? Should I keep the job that I am comfortable in, rather than risk losing both?
FYI: The position that is being offered is with the NYC subway. What also REALLY bothers me about leaving the library job is that I get 4 weeks paid vacation after 4 years. In the MTA you get 4 week after 7 years (and you don’t get ANY vacation the first year!!!)
I travel a lot and CHERISH my time off. Losing this extra time to travel around the world is a BIG blow to me.

You are already on the right track by listing the differences.

Make a Pro & Con list for each job because it often clarifies your thoughts.

It seems like this is going to come down to money vs time off. The MTA job including any overtime will be about double what you are making now.

Time off is big but how sure are you that you’re going to be a the library in 4 years?

Also do you have the option to take some unpaid time off in the first year with the MTA? (a year goes by really fast on a busy job)

Try that pro & con list and see which issue (Money vs time off)becomes the deal breaker and go with the one you will enjoy the most.

TELL me about your experience at The Museum of the Moving Image?

10 PTS!!!! is it worth going while visiting NYC?

Of course it is worth a visit. The Museum of the Moving Image tells the story of the innovation and artistry that make the moving image the most powerful artistic and cultural influence of the twentieth century.

The Museum houses the nation’s most important collection of motion picture and television artifacts.

Good luck
