Math Help
I had a long, well thought out post typed, but the nest ate it.
Matt got a job offer. 21 days on/21 days off. 380/day for the days he works, nothing on the days off.
Translate that into a yearly salary, please.

Re: Math Help
Around $72,000 I believe.
365/21 = 17 21-day blocks. He'll work half of them.
21 days * $380/day * 9 sessions = $71,820.00
I came up with $69,350 ish.
I just figured it was equal time on and off.. so half that pay each day times days in a year.
Approximately $69,350 per year.
365 days in a year, with 21 days on and 21 days off, which is = 8.69 shifts on in a year (by shift, I mean a 21 day period of being paid).
Pay per shift = $7,980 ($380 x 21 days)
Annual salary = $69,350 (8.69 shifts x $7,980 per shift)
This isn't take-home, it's gross. Don't forget to figure in taxes and other deductions (healthcare, 401k, etc).
A medic on a rig (or actually a barge I guess). I know this is crazy, but I'm not sure I want him to take it. That's a lot of time away, with a baby on the way. And a possibility he will be gone when he is born. So, I wish he would have just decided and not asked me.
for the record, it would be a significant pay increase. Like, 20,000 gross per year.
Decision made.
That's tough. Are you close to your parents? Will they be able to help you with stuff once the baby comes and YH is away for 3 weeks at a time?
Do you think you'll end up resenting him because you'll be there taking care of the baby all alone while he is gone? (even though he will be working)
If you weren't pregnant, would you have told him to take the higher pay without question?
Ahhh...then you probably have all the information you need already.
It's scary. But you need to listen to your gut. Yes, 3 weeks away would be hard as can be, especially when you have a new baby. But...then he's home for 3 weeks.
I would have him take it, because I'd be ok with him being gone 3 weeks if it meant he'd be home for the next 3 weeks.
