Lend me some sugar, I am your neighbor.
Who do you go to for advice when you’re 28? I don’t really know. I’ve sort of tossed out my little quandary to the folks that know me best and I got pretty mixed results. Here’s the deal, I may be getting a job offer at a newspaper.
The down side to this whole affair is the hours are as crappy as what I currently have and would rule out any chance at a second part time job. Why would I need a second job you ask? Well this move would mean a $6,000 drop in pay. You can see my dilemma. If I take this job and pursue my dream, I’ll be taking a huge gamble. It isn’t wholly a writing gig, but it would be a step in the right direction.
In fact it is mostly editing content for the online version of the paper. So if the job was a disaster, I would not only have to eat my words of hate for my current situation, but I would likely not even be able to afford to buy condiments which would make the eating of words more bearable. Where I was going with that I know not.
I’m going to type a pros and cons list. It sounds silly, but I think it might reveal the truth as to what I should do next. I’m getting way ahead of myself, because I’ll likely spend the entire week neuroticising over this only to not be offered the job.
