Thanks Emily, I definitely appreciate outside opinions. I'm worried if I don't leave my current job, I'll regret it...but also that if I do leave I may regret it. I wouldn't mind working with saltwater still in some aspect, but honestly I've had more fun with it when it's not what I was doing all day everyday.Originally Posted by mlededee
I would love to have a side business/hobby someday that involves making custom acrylic aquariums and cages...the other job would support that better than now. And I suppose if I tried to do this where I work now, it would become a conflict of interest (competition for the tanks we sell)...and most likely wouldn't be much fun. But my current job could also lead to other opportunities within the pet industry, but also may not...
I've written down the pros and cons of each...and you are right, at this point if I get accepted at the other job and stay where I am its a decision to stay loyal.... but its still a hard decision to make because I get treated very well where I am.
Thanks again ...its too hard to try to figure out on my own. One piece of me wants to get hired at the new job, another is comfortable where I'm at. My parents are all for the change, my girlfriend thinks I should stay loyal because I've only been at the job since June.
