A plant manager I know was offered a job that paid almost twice her salary.
She said no.

The role required constant travel and long nights away from her family.

She chose balance over a bigger check.

You can earn more money, but you can’t get back time.

Don’t trade your health and relationships for a role that doesn’t fit your life.

Agree?

I agree with you in theory. Time SHOULD always be more important than money. But while it's great that that manager was able to turn down the extra money, there are a lot of people who can't afford to, and I'm not going to judge them for it. You've got to do what you've got to do to get by.

Makes sense. It does go back to priorities and what someone would choose based on their priority. For me it’s always been my family and friends

The scenario you describe makes a lot of sense. Jobs like that may pay well, but there's a definite downside. If you've got a family, it seems like a waste to spend time in airports and boring hotel rooms.

Yes! Would I sacrifice my time with my family and miss out on precious memories I will never get back for a little extra money, probably not

I agree! Choosing worklife balance over a bigger paycheck is so important. You can always earn more money, but you can't get back time with loved ones.

Definitely not with young kids who grow so fast. Those are precious memories you will never get back
