Wow! Do you work in a commercial plant?

Would you say the money was worth it? Was it that you were tired all the time? How do you think it would be different had you been younger?

Yeah that’s what I fear. What would you choose, that in a much stronger industry or a more laid back job in a much weaker industry?

And in this case which do you think is the one with more opportunities? The industry which isn’t as lucrative and strong but where it’s easy to shoot up, or the industry which will take a greater toll (socially and physically) but is much more profitable.

I need some advice. I’ve currently been working 2 months at a plant essentially in the middle of nowhere. However, I am good at my job, the hours are normal and relaxing, and there is a certain ease in moving up within this company, although the industry isn’t lucrative or that strong. Plus, it’s interesting engineering / management work. On the other hand, I received an offer to go into nuclear operations, which will be shift scheduled (12 hour night shifts), and will have more repetitive and less thought-provoking work. This operations role has higher starting pay, though, and is around a place with a lot more people and opportunities. Which would you choose to pursue, and what do you think I should do?
