Do I go for these job interviews?

I’m very torn here. I recently returned to practice as an Occupational therapist and am finding it tough as hell 🤦‍♀️ I really love it though. I’m a bit worried that I might fail my probation though and the period ends in about 2 months. Anyway, I’ve got two job interviews next week for admin jobs. I know I’ll hate both of them too and they both pay less, in fact one is even a lower band within the NHS ffs!

So, what do I do? Keep going and try with the job or throw in the towel and do something easy that will pay the bills.

YABU- be an OT
YANBU- admin job

Well, if you do go to the interviews, there is always a chance you still won’t be offered the job. But if you did, you can always turn it down. You could just use the interview as a way of interviewing them and you might be pleasantly surprised and actually want the job if offered.
Or, you could ask your line manager how you are currently doing and if there’s anything you need to address in your current employment before your probation period is up or possibly gets extended.
Suspect you are actually just having new job wobbles and everything is on track in a job you love.
