Job dilemma about compensations. Please advise (owner, companies, salary, business)

[emirate25]

If you are currently in a job that you see as no advancement in your position, will you take another position with another company for lesser salary but looks more promising than what you are in right now or will you stay at your current position until you find one with more pay?

There are many questions that could be asked, but the main question is can you afford to take a pay cut? If so, I would advise taking the other job where there is advancement. Trust me, it's no fun working at a company where you just feel like a warm body.

Could you train to take you bosses job? Lets say that you work for the owner and their is no further place to go, could you train to do what the owner does? I know that looks like it would be hard to do. My brother has done that with 3 differant companies though. Currently he is the CFO for a printing company and the CEO and owner comes in only once in a while now. My brother did what he could to learn his job and now runs the company. It is hard to do but possible.

I have been waiting for a few years to step into the Directors position. He has been working here for almost 50 years having started in 1961. He plans on retiring in a few years and I have done all I can to put myself in a position to move into that job. Still during the wait I started a business doing what I love and also building a web site as well. My thoughts are that I wanted to look at all the posibilities of what I could do to get where I want to go.
