A client offered me a full-time job at his factory after I fixed a major panel issue.

I was finishing up a rewire at a local plant, and the owner pulled me aside in the main office. He said, 'You're the first electrician who actually explained the root cause instead of just the fix, and I need that on my team permanently.' It's a steady paycheck with benefits, but I'd have to close my shop and let my two guys go. Has anyone taken a secure job over running their own small business?

Wow, that's a huge compliment (and a tough choice).

Honestly, that's a real "bird in the hand" moment. Tbh, I knew a guy who took a plant job like that and @lisa_bennett is right, it's a tough call but the stability was huge for his family.
