My intention is to go back to school in September (not this year, next year) but for now I need a job.. I just received a job offer making $48/hr (I'm a 19 yr old college dropout (until I go back obviously).

The issues are that the job is dangerous and I would have to wake up at 3 in the morning.

I don't care about the hours... I'll wake up anytime.

How is it dangerous? Well, it involves insulation foam, and spray foam...you have to wear what essentially looks like a hazmat suit at all times.

The more I think about it, the more I think I'll turn it down... although I crunched the numbers, and I'd be making about $140,000 before tax, ~$100,000 after tax.

It would make an interesting party story to say the least, but I don't think it's worth it. My intention was to look for a part time job, so that I could work on other things. (My expenses are currently only $200/month haha).
Thoughts?

I'm not afraid of working hard, but I don't want to kill/seriously injure myself for the sake of $100K.
