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 still say that if there's any way you can take it and still make ends meet, you should. You might not get another opportunity like this. Giving up the security is hard, I know, but I think you'd be much happier in the long run. I just know that if you don't take it, you'll end up with a whole lot of "what it's."
