I don't know what to do

[annietn41]

I have a job coming up that will be 40 hours per week that I will like. I love to read and besides the tech world that is my passion. I applied with our local library about a month ago for a part-time job and they just called me for an interview this morning to come in next week. I said I would come. It would cover my groceries/gas/and daughter's school lunch. I would then need to only make 350.00 per week from writing. Back in the days of DS this would be easy to do but now it almost seems impossible. Oh how I wish I could make this happen!!! I could then work 20 hours per week at the library and then make the rest I needed to make at home. In a perfect world but I just don't see it happening. The reason I am leaving my home to work is because I have some bills that I HAVE TO PAY OFF.

I hate that they called because I would LOVE THIS JOB!!! It would not even feel like work to me. They know me at the library because I go there A LOT. If somehow I could obtain a few PCs between now and next Wednesday to make up that 350.00 extra per week that I have to make!!

Oh well, in a perfect world.

That's a tough call. Honestly, since you will like the work that you'll be doing at the 40 hours a week job, I'd go with that. If you need to pay off bills, you'll have a stable income to draw from rather than trying to scramble and earn $350 a week from writing. The field can be so unstable, as we've recently seen.

Also keep in mind that the library may be interviewing others as well. You already have the tech job .

Good luck in whatever you decide!

That's a good problem to have! Congrats on the new job.
