killing sometime before I try to call my friend back again...

so, this sucks. I applied to an airline company for their customer service position about two months ago. I figured they wasn't going to call me back, because...well I don't have patience to sit and wait for them to call back, so I started looking for another job.

I found a temp agency that helps people find jobs, but I found a temp agency that helps find people in creative fields jobs..-and that person is me. Since I'm in a creative field. I interviewed with the agency a week ago, the guy said he was going to call be asap when he finds something...but, then on saturday the airline company calls me..-umm ok, now I'm stuck. I don't know who to go with. The agency has my interest, and so does the airline company.

I sat down earlier and I made a pros and cons list of both companies. The airline had a lot of cons, as to where the agency would be more beneficial to me in A LOT of ways, especially since I'm a journalist...-its my field, and I'll have more to time to do my writing.

the airline company...is not my field, I don't think I'd be happy there...its a two hour commute, pays about the same or less than what I'd be making at the agency. but my number one concern is my happiness. I need to be happy with whatever I do in life.

I refuse to chase after the money, or just go after a job because well.."it's a job..and it pays"...-no buddy, my happiness comes first. If I'm not happy, then no one is happy..and my unhappyness will show in my work.

I often wonder what makes me people chase after the money?, what is it?.. Is it because the company might be offering you six figures?, the money makes you happy, but you are you REALLY at your job..-0r will you be one of those people after a month at the job you're all like "Damn, I hate this job..I need to get back into my field."- or is the time when you figure out this is not what you're suppose to be doing.
