About this episode

The episode discusses a listener's dilemma about choosing between a job offer and a planned trip with friends.

TODAY'S QUESTION: Hi Fellas, My group of friends from high school wanted to rent a house for a week by a lake and relive our glory days. I was the most enthusiastic when planning started and said I would be there the whole week. Now the house is rented and it’s a 2.5 hour drive. I have a job currently and already took the vacation block for the whole week. I have been applying for better jobs, but did not expect anything in today’s job market. I applied and interviewed to the perfect job. Promotion, raise, easier commute, better work life balance, everything. I was given a job offer but they want me to start the Monday of the lake weekend. Now I’m looking for advice. Thanks, Troy Tulowitski (My real name is ***** but I would prefer to stay anonymous and thought you would appreciate the Rockies reference.)
