Grrrr... job hunting
So, DH and I both had interviews yesterday, but neither of us are convinced we really want the jobs. I have 10+ years in banking and interviewed for a position with Wells Fargo, which they will most likely offer me... but after being in real estate the last 2 years (and even before that) I am just not feeling banking anymore! I REALLY want to just jump into real estate here and hit the ground running, but I know it's not that simple. I can probably get the license within the month, but the issue is that I would realistically not make any money for the first few months, and we probably can't afford that. DH makes much more than I do, so it's slightly possible that he will get a job that pays enough for me to make this happen, but it's all so uncertain right now. *sigh* I need to have patience and go for what I really want and just make it work somehow. I just can't see myself settling for an unfulfilling job I've already done just because it's the easiest way for me to get a paycheck.
Oh, and to top it all off, his BIL just got laid off from his job because he didn't get along with his boss and miraculously got a job here and will be moving the whole family from Minneapolis in August. Happy for them but WTF? Why can't it be that easy for us, the couple who actually planned to move here?
Re: Grrrr... job hunting
I don't know about things where you are, but in this economy, I don't think very many people can have their dream jobs. I am thankful every day that DH and I both have jobs. DH really HATES his and has been looking for something else for a long time, with absolutely no luck.
I guess my point is... if I were you, I'd take it. If real estate works out sooner than later, you can always quit. Plus, you never know, you may end up loving it or loving your co-workers.
