First job is 15 hours a day being out, so 75 hours a week, all for for 100 to 150 euros extra. Working hard is nice and all, but you won't have a life, and you need a life to raise a kid, not just money. Plus, you'd need to recover on weekends... Take the second job.

I personally could only imagine the first job if I knew that I could just do it for a short period of time and be guaranteed something good after that, but even though it looks good on a CV, it's just not worth the sacrifice IMO.

yeah i just dont see how a sales job would benefit you in a tech position in any way

being a tech and going into sales would help you a lot but not the other way around

Is that 100-150 euro a day or week? I'm guessing it's a week, which is not worth it at all.

And why are doctors' offices closed from 2pm to 6pm every day? So you have to talk to them in the morning in their office, kill 4 hours doing mostly nothing, then talk to them after work hours? Or do they work again after 6?

I did something similar to the gas meter job for a little while (water meters), sadly they didnt pay me properly for the first two months so i ended up leaving (they also didnt supply me with payslips till i'd left and negotiated a contract at my second job). Whats even sadder is that when i did receive my payslips and back-payments they were paying really well for such an easy job!

4 years ago, the salary for the same job in Greece was 1000 euro / month. Now it's something around 450 euro / month + 100 euro extra for insurance. So yea... By the way I think if I do well in this, I might do some internship to be able to fix these meters since my hands are really good!


I'm guessing a month. It wouldn't differ too much if they were 2000/month and 2150/month, but from 450/month to 600/month, I would pick the 1st job. Yes it's much more difficult, yes you won't see your family at all, but it might get you to jump a few more steps into better jobs and better jobs bring better money, which you will need when your kid grows up.

So apart from money and future jobs we can all agree that the 2nd job is by far the best choice. Btw if i get the 2nd job i will be making +400 euro for the cornea job since 6pm is the perfect time to contact us. So it will be 800e/month. The person who asked bout the doctors working hours,they work till 2pm take a break and then at 6pm and sometimes they have work that wont even be able to see you.

Considering you basically said the only thing better about the first job is that it's more money and better for future jobs, I don't think this should be much of a surprise.

I have a friend that sells medical equipment and he likes it. He travels all over the world for his company. But, I see him once a month so it's hard to see people sometimes.
