<prompt> Human: Ive had a really cushy low stress job as a data center admin paying 55k or so for the past 6 years and dont really remember what its like to have a stressful job. I make my own schedule, leave mostly when I want, and no-one bothers me as long as I get my stuff done. I have a wife and a kid and with our expenses as they are we have about 500 a month sometimes up to 1000 more if I do any freelancing left over all of of our expenses and education savings for the kid are taken care of. Im seeing other jobs out there but they look like they are way higher stress and have much longer hours. Is a 15k or so raise in exchange for more stress and less time with my family worth it? I know my wife and I have to make the decision for ourselves but i want to know if an extra 15k a year is worth such a change.  <response>: Youre really the only one who can make the judgment man. One paragraph is not enough for me or anyone on this website to make a huge life decision for you.
