Job Decision

Brother can your wife find work in job B area better then she could with Job A? The reason I ask is that may help with the decision. If she can get a good job there, so just in case after a year you don't have the job you could survive until you found another one. Also something else to think of, a lot of economists are saying we won't be out of this mess until the end of next year, so things could begin to pick back up when your contract is over.

If this was me, and I was young I would take job A, the reason being security, if it was me at my age of 45 I would take job b because my family happiness means the most to me right now.

I wish you the very best in your decision.:wink2:

I would take A only because I look at it this way. I would rather have a job as long as I need them rather than a job that is only good as long as they need me.

Brother you bring up a good point, but here is another I learned for sure the last year, that corporate america cares only about money, not employees or there survival.:wink2:

There is no doubt about that. We as a workforce are a disposable commodity to be used and discarded as needed.

Job B.
From what I understand that even though you commited, I feel like you are leaning toward B. One year IMO is enough time to A) collect some money if the job pays better and B) if its closer to bigger cities, you can meet few people in your field and may help you out with the long term job.

Bro then go for job B. Save some money along the year, and keep good contacts as well should the job only be for a year. Keep your resume up to date, and references, and possible send it out the second half of the year just to protect you and the family in the future. :wink2:

It'd put the decision in the wife's hands :)
