While I am happy for you, there are some things to consider: 1) Is the extra cash worth the time away from home? 2) How will this time away affect your relationship with your family? 3) Have you been happier off the rig, but working, or were you happier on the rig? 4) Does your current job pay the bills, or are you struggling to make ends meet?
