Cons
your eating habits go to shit
you work every friday night
limited social life
Pros
plenty time for gym etc in mornings before work
seems to be more hours in a day especially if you go to bed not long after getting home
Personally i would rate arvos the worst of any shift, id rather night shift at least you finish Friday morning and starting Sunday night isnt that bad
I could work at a bigger company for more money but have to do arvo shift half the year or stay where i am and do only day shift. I prefer to stay where i am, moneys not everything
As it is, I have my biggest meal at lunch and a light dinner.
I'll finish at 9pm Friday nights.
I don't really have a social life during the week, it would save me money by not grabbing a 6 pack or a bottle of red though.
Yes, we get up at 5 to go to the gym, would be much nicer at 1pm then lunch and go to work.
As a younger bloke I worked rotating shifts, I saved heaps more money on arvo's but yeah, I missed out on getting out mid-week with mates, we've just down-sized in our rental and will be paying $170 a week less rent, trying to have a big year or two of saving so we can buy when the kids all move out, pointless for the interim.
Going to be a tough decision, could well end up in the same chair, money vs opportunity vs responsibility vs quality of life.
