I Have Been Offered a New Job....
For the last 2 months I have been asked by this sales lady to be her appointment setter/account manager. Well I turned her down & told her I loved what I did...etc etc. Well she has asked me like 4 times! Then I just had a dear friend quit & her sales rep requested me & one of the VP's called me into his office on Friday & asked if I wanted to be the sales rep's appointment setter. I was hesitant & pretty much told him no. I even told the sales rep no. Then I got home & talked it over with Chris & he told me that if I would do that job & stick it out for 3 years we could pay off all of our debts including his student loans! One of my dream goals is to get out of debt! This job offers 2% commission & I get $8 an hour. There are also bonuses if we make our goals...like one of them was $5,000...well I would have had $2,500 in my pocket! I get half of what the sales rep gets on those bonuses. The sales rep that I have chosen is 2nd ranked & he made around $800,000 last year in sales. I feel really bad because I would have liked to work with the lady (she is so easy going!), but she doesn't make as much. Is that bad? The job I currently do (Receptionist, listings coordinator, leads coordinator, etc...) I make $12 an hour & I was going to ask for $14 an hour in January. The appointment setter job I am not tied to a desk & I can make my own hours. The reception job I am stuck there I have to work pretty much 8-5. I have a desk partner (there are 2 of us up at the front desk) and so when I need to leave the desk or come in late or leave late I have to work it out with her. It's pretty cool, but at the same time it makes it hard to rely on someone else to be there when you can't. I have felt like I need to do something more difficult because I feel like the job I am doing now isn't respected as much as the appointment setter job. I talked to an EX appointment setter & she said to me today, "Remember when I told Reed (the president of the company) that I wanted to work at the front desk? He said..."You don't want to do a monkey job..."" And I have heard that my job is considered a demotion etc etc. So I think I should do something worthwhile. I was offered a job at HyClone in UT (back when I worked there) and I turned it down...then when the person that I suggested got the job the job got better & I was so jealous that I gave that job up! I don't want to be jealous of that new person coming in to our work place & doing a job that I know I can do. I think I am ready to move on & become an adult for a change LOL ;o). What do you all think?? I know this is long, but I am just so nervous to switch from a cake job to one that can be so stressful!

getting totally out of debt sounds wonderful doesn't it? I guess it really comes down to what sacrifices have to be made for this change. Probably not much help.
