HELP! DS has a telephone interview tonight for the DCP and he never thought he'd get a telephone interview right away. His friends have applied & still not heard anything. He figured, he'd apply now & maybe they'd call him a few months down the road.
The problem is that he just started a great new job here at home & he also just started big car payments (for his age). We can probably get his auto insurance payments manageable by just parking his car in the garage while he's gone but would he make enough to pay rent & whatever other living expenses he'd need out there, along with his $200 per month car payment here? He also has other debts he needs to pay off, which he can't take a break from. He doesn't have enough $$ saved yet to cover his car payments while he's away, if he did get chosen for the program.
I wouldn't worry so much but every single job he has ever applied for & interviewed for, he has always landed. Not saying he's going to be chosen for the DCP just over this one telephone interview this evening, but what if he is? I don't think he's in a good financial place to take it. Would they let him reapply, if he now needs another year or two to get himself into a better financial situation? He incurred all these bills since he applied or else he may not have, for the time being.
Any advice, this mom would truly appreciate. I want him to do this one day just don't think this is the right time unfortunately.
