What to do....

Although i have had my job now for going on 4 months now, i have continued to look at other jobs. I like my job now and like the interaction with the patients, some of whom I've grown kinda close to. This is not a 40 hr. a week job and doesn't pay very well. It's also a small business and there is no room for growth. It is however close to the house and i get off at 3:00 p.m. Just in time for Emma to get home. I had an interview today and already got a call-back. It pays much more, has benefits, 401k, and other perks. However...it is in Marietta and the hours are 3:00 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. at a hospital(Kennestone). From what i understand it is no weekends until i can handle all aspects of the process and then it will be every 6 weeks i work a weekend. Sounds pretty good right? The only dilemma is that i will not see my family basically through the week. The kids go to school and of course Brookie works during the day. I love my family very much and like to spend time with them. So....do i leave a job that i like, that pays little with no benefits. But get to see my family. Or....do i get a better job and sacrifice family time. Any comments or advice you have will be wee received!!!1

Sounds like a difficult decision. If you do take the new job, it will make the weekend family time even more special and cherished. Good luck! :)

I agree with Sydney...it is a tough choice, but I think during these tough economic times taking the job may be the best option...and will probably open doors in the future with better hours and closer to home.
