Is it worth doing a few years of FIFO/travel contract work to set myself up for a more comfortable and FI future ?

Evening everyone,

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this but I thought a post about working excessively to save up for a more financially comfortable future would suit this sub.

Basically I (30M) am a Registered Nurse (operating theatres) in NSW who is strongly considering doing contract/agency work because it pays much more than NSW Health and I plan on going hard all out for 2-3 years to set myself up for a more comfortable future.

My financial goals include renovating my entire apartment (which will be my forever home), increase my super to at least six figures, paying back my parents for helping me with my house deposit (and also supporting them as they are getting older), buy some nice personal big toys and ensure I have minimum six figures in my offset account. Its not early retirement (and really I don't care about ER) but it will make me feel more at ease finically and have some sort of financial independence.

I understand Ill have to go out to regional/rural areas and work more than full time hours to make really good money and I don't mind if I have to sacrifice a few extra years of my life to do so. Ideally at 30 I should be on six figures with a partner earning as much as I do living the professional DINK life on easy mode which would make it so much easier but that's life and I have to play with the cards I have been dealt with.

What are your thoughts ? Does this sound like a good idea ? Any tips and feed back would be appreciated.
