Today was an excellent day, yet involved an event that was rather surprising and has put my mind at a turmoil like pace. Thoughts have been absolutely speeding through my head and at times I can feel my heartbeat racing because I'm the type of person, that if asked a question, I will deliver an answer. It's rare for me to be left speechless but needless to say, this is a decision I really must think about and for that particular reason, I'm writing this blog.
I work hard, I work VERY hard. I don't brag about it, and I don't feel I should take credit for it because I do what I do for myself, my friends, my family and my loved ones. My parents have always worked hard and instilled that same drive in me and my younger sisters, and as an older brother, I've always taken it as my responsibility to lead by example. I go in on my days off, I provide my personal numbers incase they need me, and when I work, I don't take breaks unless absolutely necessary. I rarely call in and have as a common occasion, pulled a 12 plus hour shift.
Well today it paid off because I was asked by a rival company if I would consider transferring over to them. Triple the pay, same benefits, and a position that would put me in charge of more than just a few stores, but 2 districts as well as carrying out my pharmaceutical duties.
It's a big jump, the catch however is that it would take away from my school since I also am planning on school fulltime, to keep going after my doctorate. This much pay though, it's shocking, especially at 21, that I receive this type of offer but the thing that has me stuck in a riff the most...is that I really LOVE where I work.
It may be stressful, it may be hard, it may wear me out, but I enjoy it, I enjoy my staff, I enjoy my customers, I enjoy my patients that stop by just to bring me adn my staff some lunch because of how hard we're working. I don't want to give that up, but at the same time this type of opportunity, well it's not easy ya know?
I just needed to lay out my thoughts, think things through, and we'll see where to go.
