I would NOT look for a job in North Side right now and take a $4/hr pay cut. You posted a thread very recently about worrying about your finances between you and your bf, so i doubt that would help that situation. Yes, you would have more time. But with the extra free time you'd be worrying about money. I would try and get a sales or operations promotion at your current job and then once you get experience in that look for a sales position closer to home. Or closer to where you guys plan to buy a home. How close is your bf's job to home?
