Quandries of the third kind.
I recently applied for a position as a "Research Assistant" over at the medical campus. It wasn't until after I applied that I realized what they currently needed was someone to recruit research participants... which would be a lot like cold call sales (except in person.) This is, honesty, not something I am particularly interested in. However the pay is decent, it would give me a better level of financial stability and it would look good on both my CV and my resume.
They are offering me a temporary position into June (which is when summer classes would be starting) and I'm debating if it is worth the extra money to do something I will likely hate.
However, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. If things go well they are dangling the carrot of giving me a permanent position where I could do REAL research assistant work- with more hands on into the research. Which is what I wanted to apply for in the beginning.
So, should I accept the offer, suffer a little for few weeks (two months or so) with the possibility of getting something I want? Or should I keep looking.
This job will fit relatively well into my schedule, I can take a shuttle to and isn't really "hard" work.
