To move or not, to except a good offer or not
About a week ago I got an offer to move to Kansas City Missouri to work as an AM (Assitant Manager) of the Cinemark out there.
My current boss Doug Shepard, who we all call him Shepard, is moving out there to become the GM (General Manager) of the Cinemark there at the end of this month. Jokingly two weeks earlier I told him that IF he leaves he has to take me with him, and well he is leaving, and he has offered to take me with him.
At first I just thought he wanted me to move out there and do everything myself, but even under that assumption it still sounded like a good idea, not to mention fun, I love working for Shepard, and will miss him when he leaves. But no, the same night I went looking for apartments in Kansas City he was also looking for apartments for his family and he looked at some for me, and he informed me that he will be able to pay me $9.00 an hour to start. $.75 cents more than what a starting AM makes at my current theatre. He has promised me around 40 hours a week, and to work right under him. He has told me he plans to stay in the area for around the next 18 years, and there are 2 Cinemarks in the area down there and he and I will bounce between them.
Now thats not to say that I will stay there for 18 years. He has offered to take me under his wing and help push me up through the ranks to get my own theatre down the road. I think that would be great.
I haven't told many people about this, I have tried getting ahold of my sister to inform her and see what she has to say. Most people think it is a good oppertunity and that I should take it. As it stands I think I am going to take it. I am scared, but I will manage, and work hard. I always wanted to get out of Michigan for atleast a little while and now I can.
Thoughts/Opinions? I already know I am sacrificing friends and family for the move, but John and I have proved that Cell phones, AIM, and Skype do infact work wonders so I am not THAT worried about it, and I will hopefully be able to make new friends, after all I am from the East, I could be the "cool" person:-D
Any ways, thats enough, if you want to know more, call me or IM me or something.
