I hate making job decisions, it seems so scary!
I have two scenarios which I need to make a decision by FRIDAY, yes this FRIDAY. So I am asking the all knowing CB for answers!
1) My current position at the college is ten hours a week. Not great in the $ department, but the flexibility is nice. There is a proposal which would bring me to about 25 hours a week, but I would still have to pay two days of extended care, and then have to work out a camp/other sitting arrangements for the summer, holidays, teachers in service days, etc. . ( I just finished this and that was a tricky situation)
2) The middle school in my childrens district asked me to be a teachers aide. They rearranged the hours so I could come as the kids get on the bus, and then get off at 3 pm. This would be a 30 hour a week job. I would have to pay extended day for my daughter for the week. BUT I would have all the summers off, and the schools in the district would follow the same days for in service, holidays, etc.
There are 5 days in the school year where kindergarteners (My DD is one) are off different days than the regular grades, but my DH has already said he would help with taking a day off/using sick days, etc...
The middle school pay is about 20 cents less an hour than the college, but the hours are more (6 hours a day versus 2).
What would you do?
