Decisions...Decisions

Well as I'm sure most everyone in the world knows...I hate my place of employment. My actual job I can deal with, it's just too much sometimes to deal with my co workers and and such. Here's my dilemma. I've been complaining about my pay and wanting a more professional place to work for some time now and that opportunity has presented itself (twice actually). I've been contacted about two positions, one that pays 7K more than this one and the other that pays 8K more than this one. There are benefits to both positions...I'll list them:

Position 1:
*More pay( which is always a good thing)
*Better hours
*The area of accounting I really like (forensic)

**Downside** It's located in Marietta which means a drive (b/c public transportation -IE: the train) doesn't go anywhere near there. I could always take the bus from the nearest train station but that would be a LOT of work.

Position 2:
*More pay (which is always a good thing)
*Better hours
*It's in a law firm (it's still an accounting position but we all know I am headed to law school and the networking opps could be enormous)
*It's located in Midtown (which is right on the MARTA line-meaning no driving and/or parking to deal with)

**Downside** Hmm...none that I can really think of besides the one (biggy) that I'm about to name.

Now, you may say...well shoot Lady D that's an easy decision just go with position 2. Yeah if only it were that easy. Here's the biggy...the job I'm in now is allowing me to make my own hours around my classes this Fall. If I take a new job I may(or may not) get that luxury and will be forced to take evening classes (which don't bother me THAT much...only hubby is trying to take classes in the Spring). My only other option is to ask for a $7500 raise and I hope I get it. It doesn't seem THAT far fetched b/c I spoke to one of the partners about it yesterday and he said that there was no way he was losing me over a measly $7K. If they were to give me the raise I'd honestly stick around and continue to ignore them everyday (until I finished w/ school). I mean after all where else can you work making that kind of money, make your own hours, and go to school? (No where else except Magic City)

I'm still praying about it...b/c I know God will work it out no matter what. (That still doesn't stop me from soliciting opinions just to see what people think.

G'Day folks!
