Girls,
This really isn't wedding related, but I could use all of the advice that I can get. I'll start by explaining that about a month or so ago, i quit my job...because it was very very stressful and had turned me into someone that I did not want to be. Well..for the last three weeks I have been nannying for a great family and have enjoyed it. I got a call today with a job offer for a position...in my field (social work). I know that I should probably take the position, since it is a professional position that will help me in the future when looking for a position...but it is going to be a very stressful position..with very nontraditional hours and alot of travel (throughout the county, so not like really far...but still alot of driving and in my own vehicle). The job does not really pay too much more than I am making now, but will give me insurance, which currently I don't have. One of my major concerns is that I left my last job...which paid WAY more, because of the stress and the fact that it did not allow me to have a life...and I don't know if I should take that chance again...for a job that really doesn't pay much more than the stress free one that I have now. The other issue is that the father in the family that I am working for works for a company where they are laying off alot of their workers...and if he gets laid off...I am concerned about what will happen to me. If I turn this job down...and he gets laid off and I end up unemployed I will be completely screwed. In addition the new job wants me to start on the 17th...which would allow mw no time to give this family notice...which I feel is completely unfair. I am very confused and I really don't know what to do. Any advice would be very helpful.
