My old job is definitely more reliable and would help support us better, but I would be unhappy. It is a productivity based office job where quota must be reached every day. It is an extremely quiet office where you can hear a pin drop and talking to coworkers is highly frowned upon. The pay is decent, and i have good benefits and pension. I could call up anytime and my job would be waiting for me.
The job I have the interview for is a painter/shipping job at a reclaimed wood furniture store. It is my favourite store where the owner is a woodworker that makes unique furniture out of antique pieces and reclaimed wood from old churches and houses. I would paint and distress the furniture and ship the pieces, as well as do invoicing. This job is much more up my ally as I have a strong passion for painting, decorating and antiques. However the pay is lower. This job offers flexible hours, which I need since I have a child who attends school every other day. I would be able to stay at home with him on his days off school.
What I had originally thought was that I would find a part time job this year which enabled me to watch my son at home every other day, then I would return to my old job in a year from now.
Unfortunately my H's job is less secure now due to a large contract not yet going through.
