Pick My New Job

I'm thinking this is probably the best thing for me too. Otherwise I am home to kiss my kids good bye when they get on the bus in the AM and then they don't see me again until the next day.

And this job is the highest paying even though it requires the most day care, on paper it will look like I'm making a substantial income. lol

Besides making good money on paper (I know that feeling...lol), you also have to look at the futures of each of those industries. Besides the bank closures that have already taken place, they also have the tendency to be involved in mergers and location closings all the time. Health care may go through changes if any kind of health care reform is passed. Potentially, life insurance companies are least likely to go through the types of changes that result in large layoffs. Plus there should be plenty of opportunity for advancement.

Thanks tutul. Every job I've ever worked gave me 2 days and sometimes 3 days off a week. I don't think I could work a job that didn't.

I would go for the Customer Service in the bank job because of the hours that you'd work. Those are good hours to work.

Hey,
Its kinda amusing to me as I run my own company. So i can work all 7 days and then may not work for the entire week, lol. But the work culture in my country is like there is only one weekly off day. SO i keep my sundays off.
Good if u get 3 days off in a week, more time to play and have fun!

Cheers,
Tutul

Yeah but I can't see working every Saturday. Saturday is like my play date with my kids. I'm really leaning towards the swing shifts too. In fact it was the job I was working 5 years ago before I got the job I just left. I'm surprised they are so eager to hire me back.

Well if they are eager to get you back, take that as a sign:) Perhaps they reallllly liked you which means you will probably do well there! The swing shift offers some variety too and gives you a week every month where you can do things in the morning. That's another good reason.

I have experience in all three and they are all basically the same in my opinion. The one you picked just happens to bring home the biggest pay check.

well in that case

That's the real question. Do I or Don't I need full time? I haven't stepped foot in my place of employment since March of 2006 and even then I was restricted to 20 hours a week so it has been almost 4 years since I have worked full time hours.

The bank job allows for part time and that is why it appealed to me in the beginning but then I got to thinking that if I am going to work I may as well make money for doing it.

I'm so confused. I start on the 14th. I just don't know where I'm starting.

And they say there are no jobs in todays economy.

I'm catching up with you. 13 May 2007 was my last day. I regard myself as unemployable especially with all the folk that are job hunting. But I went potty. Who wants someone like that? Do what you feel you have to do and what feels right. XXXX

If you're "potty" I wanna be a pot too!

You made a good point but these people are all calling me because there is a problem. I'm gonna take crap regardless. But thanks for stopping by.

I'm up late too but working those hours I'm only gonna see my kids when they get home from school once a week.

The quality assurance one pays the most. lol So you hit every nail on the head. I think that since I did this particular job before I know its not particularly a job I enjoy. But I will enjoy my paycheck.

Did you notice that there was good potential for job growth in the QA position?

It is the one I picked. I'm greedy. And in the end the paycheck beat out the week days off so I could volunteer at my avatars preschool.

I'm sure she would rather I be home to have dinner with her 3 weeks a month rather than have a day off a week to go to school with her, even if she is too young to understand my question. lol

Funny you mention that calendar. I actually have a series of pictures that I could use for such a thing, I'm just not sure people would pay for it. While it might be "cute" to see that nipples are great for hanging christmas ornaments from, there are only so many things one can do with a pumpkin.

LOL, trust you to already have calendar pics! Too funny.
Here's a thought for a pumpkin one.........don't forget to click on it:

I don't go out to bars so that really doesn't matter that much to me. But having a set schedule is nice.
