LOL...
I know. I had previously blogged on this subject matter, but it keeps being tempting....
On the one hand, I have a job that doesn't pay well, I enjoy it and I am good at what I do -- which involved lending a listening ear, helping the victims/underdog of society, guiding them with their thought processes, etc. I am currently working as a relief their (subbing in for permanent employees as they are understaffed to due vacations/illnesses and/or as additional help in peak time temporary needs). However, there is a position that I am applying for that will only be $3 more an hour to start; however, I am guaranteed a 40-hr work week that way. As a relief I had been getting 40-hr weeks but in November for the first couple of weeks, I am only getting 8 hrs each week. I can't live on that by any means.
What will save me though in November is the fact that I have been working too with a mortgage broker and realtor; however, while the pay is potentially very good, they haven't been consistent in paying me. In fact, presently they are owing me about $1k for the past couple of weeks. They are talking about commissions and bonuses; however, it has all been talk so far.
QUESTION: IF (I may be putting the cart before the horse on this at this time), but IF, I get the FT job I have applied for, it will only mean roughly $25-28k to start. IF I put more effort into mortgage/realty business, I could potentially make much greater than that indeed.
Do I do what I love for less than what I could be potentially making; or, do I simply give up the stability of the first for the gamble of the second opportunity???
Decisions. Decisions...
What would you choose????
