I've been approached with an opportunity to get out of the food
business. The job is installing, troubleshooting, and training
clients on the company's software and service. (It's something to do
with title releasing and tracking for real estate and lawyers) No
sales, just installation. The tech part is fairly low level, even I
can handle it after brushing up on networks. The rest is just
customer service, which comes naturally for me. It's an on-the-road
job, my territory would initially be Tenn and may expand south and
west.

Two questions for those who have been there, done that. What's the
quality of life for 4 days a week in hotels? What kind of salary
range should I be asking/looking for? I've already met with the guy
who would be training me and would essentially be my direct
supervisor. He does the same thing in VA/MD/NJ. He's described the
job's pro's and con's, but I'd like some perspective from some
objective third party types. You guys are as close as I can get to
that.


I can only speak to the four days in hotels. There has to be a
significant part of you that likes being a loner. I used to travel
more than I do now, but it never bothered me all that much because
travelling alone, eating alone and sitting in a hotel room alone
didn't drain me.

Don't get me wrong...after a week I would be happy to be home. But
the worst part of travelling to this day is the airlines. If I just
have to drive somewhere, I am fine.
