I'm the Purchasing/Sales Manager for a ~$1m/year shop. I've been working there for the last five years. It's a good shop in a nice part of town and when I started it was the bee's knees in my eyes. I work hard, make the business a healthy amount of money and generally will know your name the second time you come in the store. My 33k/year salary, broken down, means I take home ~13$/hour but it's guaranteed money.

There's a shop across town that is nearly as big, only opened five years ago and sounds like a much cooler place to work. They don't need a guy to do the bookings or managing the staff so I'd be making roughly what the entry-level retail guys make.

I graduated high school but never went to university. I fell into bikes more or less accidentally and it turns out I'm kinda good at it. I can talk to people, I have a modicum of business sense and I like riding.

My four choices are as follows. Should I:
1) Stay where I am, buy into the business and call it a career?
2) Jump ship, take a pay cut and have less job stress but more money stress?
3) Move to Kelowna, Halifax, Portland or Montreal and open my own shop? (Job security, be damned!)
4) Skip it all and go back to school to become a nurse or a teacher?

So internet, where do I go from here?
