Sounds like you already know this but unfortunately sometimes it does mean making sacrafice in order to "move on up" and try to advance your career path.
About 5 years ago I bailed from our helpdesk and my
sweet Mon-Fri 2pm-10pm shift to move to another department doing shift work. Since this change I've been 7pm-7am most nights and also killing 2 Fri-Sun weekends due to our rotation. Does this make it harder to sleep, meet new people, and hang out with current friends??....sure it does.....have I been able to nearly double my income and broaden my resume in this timeframe......yes.
Sometimes it just boils down to "no pain no gain"....... I'm off half of the Mon+Tues's every month too so hit me up on AIM, I'm right across the street now
