Uh - help?

So Kate called me last night. She works for an educational psychology firm that her dad owns. She offered me a position with them in which I would be using my degree, and I'd get to travel and do all the things I WANT to do. The only problem is that it's part time, and my schedule with OMAX makes it so that I can't really do both at the same time.

So I'm torn. I mean, I'm finally making semi-decent money and getting back on track. Which I like. A lot. But on the other hand, this is the opportunity I've been waiting for, for a LONG time. And I'd be doing some good with my work.

I don't know what to do - take the offer and give up security and benifits and the knowledge that I WILL be promoted, or stay where I'm at and give up the chance to actually do what I want to do.

I always said that if this situation ever came up, I'd go with doing the thing I want. But now that I'm a little more grown up and trying to be responsible - it's not exactly the same perspective.

Anyone have advice?

I have never commented on your LJ.I do enjoy your writing. As a woman of a certain age and experience I say always follow your passion! If this job will give you a chance at a future doing what you love I say go for it!
Good luck, Cindy
