Congratulations, Mackenzie. You’ve found from your personal experience that taking a gamble that’s well thought out can actually work out very well. So many people stay in a job they hate, simply because they “prefer the devil they know.” I hope and pray that you’ll continue to make great progress in your life and work. You deserve it. We just need to soldier on.

Every year, there’s a HUGE opportunity to make enough money to weather the coming 2-3 months of off season. Management made yet another change that would have been devastating financially, so I requested the time period covering the opportunity to work elsewhere. They declined to give me the time off, so I turned in my two weeks notice. This was a gamble. There was no guarantee that permanent work would be offered after the opportunity period.

I made the money I needed to make and worked very hard, and it was noticed at the new place. They offered to let me stay on board, on call, but beyond the time frame, so the gamble paid off.
