Here's whats going through my head right now regarding accepting the job:
PRO
advance career, learn more about marketing/advertising, move to somewhere new, network/meet new people, get out of the house more, sleep better at night, get a better idea of what I want to do with my life, "grow up", steady paycheck, make the family happy, still able to play poker at night (games suck during the day anyway)
CON
the 8-5 grind, waking up early, less free time, not being able to take days off whenever I "don't feel like working", not being able to travel (as much), working for The Man, bureaucracy, making peanuts by comparison, still sitting in front of a computer all day, being low man on the totem pole, little/no chance of "making it big" in the short-term
I worked wack jobs throughout high school and college, and worked in the finance dept. of a hotel for 8 months after school was over. I'm NEVER going back.
