Ok I am currently working at a Caterpillar Dealer here in Kansas City MO, I absolutely love my job, as a Diesel Technician here. However I absolutely can not stand the "polotics" here. Everyone back stabbing everyone else to get a hands up on them. I feel like my older brother (also a diesel technician) and I are about the only straight forward people at the company. This place is worse than high school everyone starting rumors and back stabbing and such. And I believe that for my experience, abilities, and resume I'm getting under paid in comparison to others.
I have recently come across a possibility to change professions to what I would consider my absolute passion. Now I said possibility I'm still to hear back from the company. They told me that they have a huge event coming up this weekend and wouldn't be getting to the job opening until next week or the following. But to put it in perspective outside of my my I eat, sleep, and live automotive and diesel performance. The job opening that I applied for is to be a Performance Technician at ATI ProCharger. At this job I would answer questions/help with problems via email or phone calls, maintain the test vehicles, help with new product development, and load/unload the trailers to and from all of the major shows across the nation, and also help at the booth's at the show's.
Now my question is I would be taking about a 5-10K a year pay cut going to ProCharger if it comes through. What would you guys do in my situation. Stay with the money or go with the "passion"?
Thanks for the help
