She thinks I'm being selfish; and I suppose I am to an extent: I'm bored at my current job, I'm tired of the mess our house is in and I want to get rid of some of the wallet-leeches.
Most of the fun stuff with this new job comes with the deployable nature of it, and there is plenty of training as well as money (which I could use to fix up the current house, even pay someone else to do the work, not to mention stuff the 401K) and I could take her along on some of the domestic trips (at my expense, natch).
So yes, I am being selfish. But if I enjoy my work, then it isn't so much work, and perhaps I wouldn't be quite so tired and depressed when I get home at the end of the day and therefor more pleasant to be around.
