Should I Travel for Job Training?
The work that I do takes place entirely on the web. I engage in blogging, web writing and online social promotion. I can do that from anywhere that I can get connected to the Internet. However, I’ve recently been asked to do job training on-site for a position that I’d like to have. The problem is that the training is in Tampa and I’m not. Should I travel there just to get trained for an online job?
The company is obviously based in Tampa. The reason that they want me to do training there is that they use a content management system in Tampa that they say is kind of complicated. They don’t want to train me over the phone or via email. They’d rather show me the whole system in person.
Once I know the system, I’ll be able to access it from anywhere. This means that I’ll still be able to work remotely away from the Tampa office. The job is going to be a full-time long-term position which is something that I’ve been looking to get for awhile. So it might be worth it to travel to Tampa to do this training. On the other hand, the travel isn’t paid for so I’d be investing my own money to get trained. What do you think – should I do it?
