I’ve got good news, but I’m ambivalent as to whether I should be excited about the possibilities. I’ve been invited to test for a job position with The City. It would be an administrative position with less emphasis on customer service and more emphasis on paperwork. Essentially, I’d be returning to the realm of paper jockey in an office. However, I’d easily be making a few thousand dollars more a year.
The oddest part about this is the timing. I’ve recently come to a point where I’m satisfied with my current position and willing to stay there. I’ve been thinking a lot about going to Japan in a year. Now, I’ve got one more factor to throw into the equation.
At this point I don’t know that I’ll get the job (still in testing), but the possibility itself complicates my plans. The money alone adds a lot of allure to it. Not because I’d stay there long term, but it would be helpful for paying off some debt before pursuing my other dreams.
I’m wavering.
Update: I’m testing for the job on Tuesday. I’ve got varied feelings about actually doing the job, but I’m excited and nervous about the opportunity. I’ll admit the money is quite tempting, but the money cannot be the only factor.
