the new work might represent a lot of personal and profesional growth but my current work provides stability in a way....Im just about to have my third kid which Im very happy about but I cant stop thinking about paying college for 3 kids !!! One of my best friends works in the other agency and I have his full support and he is in a very good position...

Your main worry seems to be "stability". It can mean many things. If working in the new agency gives u the same "stability", u shld go.If not, it all depends. U seemed pretty confident that u can take on the world. If u r concerned about the disruption to your set family routine, u'll have to weigh the pros n cons. U'll also have to consider the additional responsibility with the birth of your 3rd child. If it concerns the stability of the company, u shld know better as u r in the industry.

It is scarry being a new student, but changes can be a good thing.  It is a chance for you to make new friends!  At first it might be hard, but as time goes by it will get easier.  I was at the same job for 15 years and decided that I needed to change jobs.  At first it felt really strange and I was a little scared, but now that some time has gone by  I feel really happy that I made the change.  I have new friends and new challenges.  It turned out be just what I really needed!   Good luck to you.

I'm about to embark on that at the moment. I have 4 children and they are all at school now. I am currently studying at college for my business administration certificate 3 and then I can do more courses as I see fit to build my skills. I have worked and owned my own business before but had a break to raise the kids. I am hoping to get a job in 2007. Good Luck and happy juggling work and home.

I like it endeed, but not always. I mean there are some people there that make me feel great, but some not. Plus as my senior year approaches I feel quite anxious about my exams. But all in all it's OK.

I'm 25, already have a baby, I work full time in an international chinese company in Mexico...I'm just so busy all the time. I'm actually wondering if it's gonna be like this for the rest of my life. I wish I could just quit my job to spend more time with my baby before he grows up and doesn't need me anymore. See...I think this is a crisis.

It's always good to have the education. As a Mother of two I would probably do the same, go to College but if I feel it's right and I can afford it I would only work part-time to be with my kids.

compromise, do the career first. because it is definately harder when you have kids. personal experience. i don't get to spend much time with mine and it makes me feel guilty. but if i didn't work and do my career, i feel like i haven't fulfilled my destiny. i went at this backwards and now im paying for it. if i could i would do the job first that way i wouldn't regret it later. then you would have all the time in the world to be a mom.

A stay at home mother of 3 is a full time job and should be very rewarding. Why do you want to spoil that with a second job which will ruin the quality of the first because then your 3 children will not be getting the care they are used to. Come on. You're doing what you want to do. Be proud of it.

I am in the creative line too and I understand where u come from. And many others have questioned this. 5 years ago, I worked as a stylist in a fashion magazine and free-lanced in estee lauder. That was after i graduated in fine arts painting and did not know if that was the practical way to go. After 2 years, i decided that it is not something i truly enjoy and went back to arts and finished my degree in fine arts management. I own an art studio now for children and adults and this has been the best thing that have happened, and you know it when you feel comfortable and you dont need anymore changes. Im 29 and single, having fun. Surely some girlfriends are married with babies. As for me I still want to enjoy what i have ahead, dating and taking my time. But really, going back to the creative line, especially if you have always desired to, is the best thing that has happened for me. You know it when you dont want to do anything else but this. Work for what you want! I felt when i was not in arts, and thinking too much about where arts will bring me: I was stuck in a moment!

Well what I wanted to be always bothered my mother.  She's a very strong and independent woman who feels you should never rely on anyone otherwise you'll be let down.  Anyway, I've always wanted to be a great wife and an even better mom.  I wanted to be a stay-at-home mom so that my children wouldn't have to be in daycare.  I know this isn't considered a career but I've served in the military, been a used car salesman, worked retail, worked at a movie theater and even worked fast food and this is by far the toughest and most rewarding job I've ever had.  This always worried my mom.  She was afraid I'd get married and he'd leave me and I have all these kids with no money.  She also though I'd be bored out of my mind!  Well, I found my prince charming and we are happily married and expecting our second child this Christmas.  I honestly couldn't be happier and my mom sees this (and knowing what a good man my husband is) is no longer worried about me not earning an income.  When my children are all in school, I do want to get a part-time job so I can bring some kind of money into the house but as long as my kids are at the house, that's where I'll be.

Oh my God!  I am a tremendously intuitive and spontaneous person.  I have switched not only jobs, but also careers several times based on intuition.  So far, so good!  Following my heart has led to great success.  Some time ago I learned that you should do what you love and the money will follow.  Even if the money doesn't follow you still get to do something you love, so that ain't half bad.  As far as my personal life goes, well I'm married and I think anyone who is married has to admit that intuition played a large role in the decision to take the big step.  Again - So far, so good!  Of course my intuition and my inclination to follow it has also created some problems from time to time.  I have on rare occasions placed too much trust in the wrong individual, but it hasn't bothered me that much.  After all once I figure it out I don't make the same mistake again but they have to live with themselves forever.

My philosophy is either love what you do or make a lot of money doing what you hate. You my friend are doing that so hey keep your head up make that money. Make sure to save a lot of it because at some point your going to have to jump ship. You can't stay in that hell hole forever. That way you dint have to rush into the next job and you can pic something you at least like if not love. Good luck holla at me if you want to vent.

are you kidding? I have happy times in the past, but I would rewrite in a heart beat,  people tell you they won't are liars.  It is nice just to dream about it, thanks for the question.\n\nI still want to keep my hubby in the new story, but change a whole lot of other staff:)
