I went against my gut feeling on this one and took up my friend's offer to cruise on down to Florida and work as a doctor in his medical office. We had been classmates about a decade and a half ago (already) and he had kept in touch. He had done well since graduation, me....not so well. He did receive a lot of family support in the beginning, which he conveniently has forgotten about. I like how all these "self-made" men conveniently forget about that first hundred grand that got handed to them.
So anyway, I went to work in one of his offices and lasted about a year and a half, but the pay was just too low for the patient flow involved. When Christmas came and went without a bonus or a raise, I put in my two weeks notice and now we're not friends anymore.
I now know to get something in writing, an actual contract first, before agreeing to work for somebody, especially friends. So get that contract, regardless of your relationship.
