It is a job, and it will help greatly rather than the very small amount that unemployment would bring. (we haven't gone that route yet)
However, Donnie also had an interview today with a company that is at least going to pay close to what he was making. With some belt tightening we could make it work. Serious belt tightening, to be sure.
We have to decide to take the lower paying job just in case he doesn't get the other one, and then what? If he does, do we turn it down since he committed to the first job, or bail on the first company? Or do we hold out in case he does get the better job.
Fun stuff, huh?
They both have benefits, so that isn't an issue. But, Donnie would not enjoy the job he is for sure getting an offer from. They are customer service, which he just left and doesn't want to do again. The second job he would LOVE and would pay enough. But they are not that close to a decision. If they go forward with him, there is still another interview to go through, and then who knows how much longer.
I am at a loss. Lots of prayer, my friends.
6 people think my kids are qtpies:
Wow! That is tough. You are right, lots of prayer required. This is such a huge decision to make.

Well, he could be totally honest with this first one saying that he really needs more money and that he is going to continue looking - hoping to get one that pays better. If they hired him knowing that then so be it...I take it his interview went well today?!
I'm praying for wisdom for Donny in this. Integrity is key. Will the first company give him a little time before they need to know about a decision?
Maybe he should choose the job he would LOVE. Its the pitts to work in a job you hate day after day.
Whew, I guess the best way is to be honest (as in telling them that you would continue to look to try to get more money),if at that point, they chose to rescind the offer, then I guess it's off to the unemployment line :( but at least you're keeping integrity (and teaching the kids a BIG lesson there).... Just my 2 cents
I am praying, and will continue to pray. I think it was wise to pass on the first one. I will pray that God will direct you both as you wait patiently on this life direction.
