“Should I Stay Or Should I Go Now?”

I love the job I currently have but the pay sucks. At this rate I will never be able to get ahead, but I am able to help pay bills. I also get free daycare and an opportunity to go back to school. However, the going back to school thing is only feasible with my current employer IF I go back for an Early Education Degree. At first I thought this would be great. I have always wanted to be a teacher and this was a step in the right direction. But we come back to the whole not making money thing. Teachers are not paid enough and there are things in life that I want and these things cost MONEY.

SO, I took the initiative and applied for a few more jobs. One of them was with an Insurance company that a friend of mine works for. I have insurance background which is a quick way for me to move up the ladder, but I also would get to work with my friend which is even better.I heard through the grapevine that I’m the choice canidate, so I’m expecting a call back for an interview soon. I guess it really just comes down to dollars and cents at this point.

I am so torn. I really don’t know what to do. I love my coworkers, boss and the free daycare at the current job. However, the new job offers a potential CAREER, not just a job, and I’m thinking the money will be more. If the price is right? Then I’m movin’ on.

As for school? I’m not sure what I want to do now. I think I still want to go back, but not for education. I think I would like to do something involving business management, or something. I’m not really sure. I think the best thing for me to do at this point is to figure out the job thing and then once that is settled, I will contact a Campus Adviser and go through my transcripts, see what transfers, and then review my options.

Ahhhh life, it can be so confusing sometimes, can’t it?
