Applying for jobs is, I've decided, very much like applying to college all those many years ago. I am wracked with indecision. Unsure of where I should be looking for jobs (here? Or closer to fiance?), unsure of what type of job I should look for (good career-wise, or good money-wise?), etc, etc.
There is an amazing job I found online today. It advertises a "competitive salary with excellent benefits." It would be working at a community "clubhouse" with adults with serious mental illness--helping them get back on their feet and such. It is near enough to my future husband that I can make the two-year committment they ask (for the sake of the clientele). My heart swells at the idea of such a job that will directly influence the lives of dozens of people. My heart also threatens to break at such a job, given the horrible stories and situations I will likely see and hear.
Yet, I am still drawn to this job and will very likely apply. At least, if I don't get the Biofuels job before this job deadline closes.
I don't know what to do.
And I don't know where I'm going.
And I am petrified.
