Just got a job offer. Should I accept it?

Rachael Louise If it was what I was happy doing then yes I would take it up in a heart beat! More income? yep definitely. As for slowing down, if you are happy in all that you do, and you sound like you are then I would just carry on!

Rachael Louise Ahhhh what a dilemma! How come everything in life always seems to come with a catch? I think you will have to go with your gut feeling on this one, do what is right and best for you and maybe work around everything else somehow.

Domestic violence, have you been into this situation?

angelmels @angelmels (541) • Australia 2 Aug 17
