I currently have a permanent job about 45 mins from home. I used to love it but now it's so draining and I've wanted to leave for about 4 months.
I was offered a job last week. I have to decide by Monday. It's slightly better but more hours- it's a lot more pay and very close to home. The problem is it's only for 8 months. It could be extended but you never know.
I am a single parent so if I couldn't find another job we would be screwed- although I suppose I could look for 'anything' ie not my profession closer to the time if I was desperate, or try to get professional agency work. There is not enough wages to save to cover any gap in earnings so it would literally be another few months and more applications and interviews all over again (which i hate)
The thing is I just feel like taking it. I just wonder AIBU to give up job security for this when I have kids to support?
