Unlike most people in Michigan, I have 2 jobs, both of which pay very well. My problem is this.......
My full time job is great and all, with the best part being that it is VERY stable. No worries about layoff, termination, etc.etc.etc...
My other job is now asking me to come aboard full time, which would require me to quit the other job. This job will pay me slightly more than I make now within the next 6 months, and afterward, pay me in the low-mid 6 figures...................somewhere around 125,000 plus bonus', totalling around 200k plus..........The BIGGEST issue with this job is that I have a gut feeling that it will be MUCH, MUCH less stable......anyone in Michigan knows that stability right now it PRICELESS !!!!!
WHAT 2 DO ???? !!!!!!!

This is the same sort of question that applies to making decisions about investing in the stock market: do you choose stocks or funds that are very stable but pay a lower return or do you choose those which pay a higher return but are more volatile and subject to possible to sudden big changes in value...
The real answer depends on your age and how well you could recover from a catastrophe and how comfortable you feel in a higher-risk situation. There is no one right answer to this question. If you are young and a risk taker then go for the higher-paying opportunity and build up an emergency fund before you start spening like there is no tomorrow. This way if the second job goes south you have a cushion until you get back on your feet again. If your feeling about the job instability will cause you a lot of sleepless nights then it might no be such a good idea. No sense in worrying yourself sick over a job.

You are lucky and talented! There is a risk to earn more money, always. Most people would, and should stay with the stable employment over the chance of "all or nothing".
You are ambitious, obviously have skills that employers want, so if the job that paid more failed you could get another job quickly.
Trust yourself!

always listen to your 'gut feeling" if you dont you will be sorry later on. If a lot more people would learn to "listen" they wouldnt have the problems they have. I think you'll be sorry if you quit your other job.

Stick with the first job. There's no guarantee that the 2nd job will stick to their word and pay you what they say they will.

Although that is an awfully tempting salary, I would stick with what you can depend on.
