After being out of work for almost a year, I have suddenly been lucky enough to be offered two jobs today. I just don't know which to choose for the best, so I would appreciate any input anyone has:
- School job, 3 hours a day, 5 days a week. Term time only. Fixed term contract for six months. No real idea if they'll be able to renew. Half the salary of job number 2.
- Job with a charity. 20 hours a week, four days a week, 9.30 to 2.30, but not term time only. Permanent job. Double the salary of job no. 1.
We have a 5 year old in year 1 at school. Dh works full-time. We live in a teeny weeny house and would love to be able to afford enough of a mortgage to get a slightly bigger house. That might be possible with job number one, but much more possible with job number 2.
Any thoughts. I feel sad about not being there in school holidays. Actually I feel slightly sick about it. But on the other hand, we are totally broke and been working our way slowly through savings this past year.
Any input for me? Any experiences to help me?
Thank you.
