There is a possibility of a job change in my near(ish) future.
For the past almost 2 years, i've been working part time at the kids' school doing recess and lunch. i've been 'promoted' to the kitchen, so now i cook the chicken nuggets. it's big time stuff. BUT... it works great for my schedule. i go in when the kids get on the bus. i'm done before they get home. if someone is sick, or if i'm sick, there are no worries. and when school is canceled (or when we're on break), i'm home. it's a perfect arrangement as far as being home for my kids but still making a bit of money.
BUT.
i have recently been asked about a part-time accounting position, which would pay 2 1/2 times what i'm making at the school. i don't know yet what the hours are, or how much flexibility there is. i was simply asked to submit a resume. the extra pay would be great. the loss of ability to be home on breaks and whatnot would be not-so-great. there's also a second accounting opportunity that is a bit further down the road, but still a possibility. it would actually be full time at the plant where my hubby works, and it would be a pretty sizable salary.
i'm TORN. i would love to contribute more financially. and i would love to do something that is more personally fulfilling... because cooking frozen food just doesn't do much for me on a personal level. but still, i really value always being present for my kids. i don't currently have to shuffle them around from person to person, or rush here and there for practices and events. i don't have to leave them home alone or at someone else's house on breaks.
