Re: ...
Well to me I am not going to let my college degree go to waste.. and thanks
If I read your post correctly, one of your concerns is that your current position would be good for when you have children and want to be more flexible or have more time with them, while the new job may be more challenging to juggle with kids. Other than that concern, it seems like everything about this new opportunity is better than your current situation--definitely full-time, great benefits, related to what you studied in college and really want to be doing. Honestly, I can understand being nervous about change, but I can't see why you wouldn't jump at the opportunity if they offered you the job.
In terms of long-term flexibility as your family grows, would the bank job actually be better than the other potential job if it was full-time? As someone with kids, I can say that it was impossible for me to find a part-time job that I was excited about. I ended up going back to work full-time sooner than I would have liked. It has been a struggle for our family and for me personally (DH works a lot of hours), and I would still prefer a part-time option. That said, you don't have any children yet, and you want to be working full-time right now for benefits, so I wouldn't make a decision between working at the bank and working at the other potential job on the basis of future children.
If you get this childcare job, I say it sounds like a no brainer, take it. It's in the field you like, it would give you full time and benefits. Besides, working in child care is also a good industry for when you have kids. Good luck on the interview!

That's it! You hit the nut right on the head! And my husband was telling me that it would help us so much if I had a full-time and doing something I love.. He's very supportive. I hope the interview goes good because I am too excited about it..

Thank you, thank you! If I get the job I would be working with children who has ADHD, raped and etc.. I would go see them at school to see how they going.. It's a caseworker position btw!
No, no my current job has spoiled me and has made me lazy.. Lol! The other job would keep me busy! See I want to feel like I have found my purpose and I don't here.. I feel like I am just settling.....
Another vote for the childcare job. I worked in childcare several years ago; it wasn't for me full-time, but it's a very rewarding field for the right person. Most positions in my area are low pay but tend to compensate with great benefits and lots of flexibility for moms. Good luck!
Thank you! It pays a little more than what I make now but I would be full-time.. And I hope I get the job so that I can see if this is my calling.. Thanks
I didn't read the other replies but my advice is: never, ever WAIT for an opportunity to come. If you have an opportunity in front of you right now that you are interested in, you take it. Nothing else is guaranteed at this point.
