Torn Between...

what I need and what I want to do. I am currently employed as a teacher and at the same time the basketball HS coach. I really love working with kids that's why I've never tried any other job. The problem is, I am only receiving a not so high salary. (P15,000 or almost $300 a month.) It would require me to do extra jobs like tutorial jobs to make meets end. Now I'm trapped between what I want, which is to teach, and what I need, which is to support my family's need. I can do more money by working in a bigger school but surely, I will terribly miss the excitement of basketball.\ If you are in my shoes, what would you do?

Isn't it that needs are more important than wants? Well, that's just me. Anyways, there's still that possibility that you can form a basketball team when you transfer to a bigger school. Family comes first for me. Have a nice day jaypee.

I hope so. The thing is I may call it quits when I finally find my resources in good investment, unlike if I do coaching at the same time teaching, I may find centuries of it but still wanting. Thanks though. Your advice is carefully considered.
