The Next Big Step.
I got a hit off Monster on my resume today and I will likely soon be interviewing for a "real job". It would be in life insurance. Now I don't know any of the details, pay, benefits, job duties. But, if I were offered this job and I took it, it would mean leaving Madison. This corporation has offices in Chicago, New York, New Jersey and Florida. Now depending on how much they were willing to pay me, and if they would pay for us to relocate I would probably do it. I know this is a lot of "ifs". There is no guarantee that I will get or even want this job, but I can't help but think about how much easier life would be if we had significantly more income. Also I don't know how I feel about moving away somewhere that I have no family, friends or support system. There are a lot of advantages to living here. We have lots of good friends. Ian's parents are here. We love the city. But I may never be able to leave Whole Foods if we stay here. Even if I do I am not seeing any prospects that would make me much more money than I make now. I received the first of what I am sure will be "thanks but no thanks" letters from one of the jobs that got my resume last week. I guess I shouldn't count my chickens, but this seems to open so many possibilities and I am not sure what to think of it.
