<prompt> Human: I am 30 currently make 80K a year doing healthcare IT in a Midwestern city. I have advanced as far as I can within this company without entering management, which really wouldnt suit me. I get along with my boss and coworkers well enough -- I dont dread going to work. The work itself is not very satisfying and is mostly just supporting stuff we already put in place years ago. My wife and I are also only so-so about staying in our current city and are considering relocating.I have found out I can work within my IT niche as an IT consultant making much, much more. The job Im considering right now pays 180K 90hour in NYC. It would be an all expenses paid Monday thru Thursday traveling gig with a 6 month contract. The role is ongoing IT support, so it could potentially go for years.We have a 45K mortgage not much equity and 85K in student loans. I figure between selling the house in a move and the increased salary we could be debt free within a year. Do you guys think this is worth the risk? Ill feel like a jackass if I leave a relatively cushy 80K job and wind up regretting it.  <response>: Take it, man. You already sound mildly dissatisfied with your life--if you DONT take it, youll always have regrets and wonder what could have been.Even if THIS job doesnt work out long term, youll be looking for the next job while sitting on a pile of saved-up cash and holding a glowing resume.
