Pondering of the Things That Can Be or Something to Think About

I lately have been pondering on a job situation that I can take right now.. I really and at a battle within myself as to if I want to take this situation or not. There are many reasons to take this job and number one is the money that is possible to be made.. the down side is that I will have to be available 24/7/365 and will be attached to a phone at all times and will have to be next to an internet access at all times.... I dont really know if I am up to being a prisoner to something so dedicated... I would have to give up sooo much in order to take this job.. including my life... there would no longer be any fishing or camping or going somewhere just to get away for even just an hour.... I remember back when  was truck driving there was a magazine that came out and gave an equation for your time vs job prison... it went something to the effect of 24 x wage = daily amount.. for me that would only be minimum wage... but there is also another part of this equation... and that is family time, which to me is worth more than minimum wage as is personal time as well. so in doing so lets see what we have right now.... 24 x 8.25 = 198 / day. Now lets put this per month.. 198 x 30 = 5,940 hmm doesn't sound too bad for a wage.. now this is with out sleep mind you and that is gonna be 1/3 of your time so lets divide by 3 just to see what you are missing.. 5940 / 3 = 1980  Our total of your worth per day now has dropped to 3,960 and that is only sleep and work.... now at least when I was truck driving I always had off at least 24 hours that I got to spend with family... I wont even have this when I work for this company cause what if I am called in the middle of the night? I have to be available right? Now what about that personal and family time that I said was worth double of minimum wage or of my wage? that would be another 3rd at double?? so 1980 x 2 = 3960 now add the 1980 which is another 1/3 which would be 8 hrs of work... so 3960 + 1980 =5940 which is the same amount that we started with minus 8 hours of sleep which of course is still 1/3 which is 1980 ...
So how much is your time worth??
Me mine is worth 7920 / month which now once again is equal to 264 / day or 11 / hour
Yeah I know I am easily worth $11/hr so how much are you worth??

I greatly got off topic on this but to an effect of how much this job is worth
350 per week / 7 days = $50 / day which is $2.08 / hr...
This isnt looking very good to me, but then again I have been wrong in the past...
Take care cause I am going out and gonna get wet walking a dog, have a good night every one...
