I'm having trouble working through a mental debate I'm having with myself, so I figured I'd turn to you for your advice and help.
Being a student at BYU is fun and tough, especially in the business program. My classes this semester have me working hard, but also have me thinking about whether or not I should really be working there with you. Don't get me wrong, I love what I do. I love being a part of the missionaries' lives and helping them prepare to invite people to come unto Christ. I love being able to teach Tagalog to people. It definitely helps to keep me sharp on my language skills. Only thing is, I've been thinking lately that as much as I love working with the missionaries, I really don't know how much my job is helping me with my career in business.
I need the job to help me to pay for school and what not. I especially want to try to avoid any student loans if possible. Yet, at the same time I think that perhaps by quitting my job I can focus on things that will help me advance my career opportunities. All this meaning that even if I do take on debt, a better career offered by better focus on that now provides a higher opportunity cost.
I just don't know what to do. What do you think?
That's a really tough one. My husband worked at the MTC teaching Spanish when I met him. After awhile, though, he got a job at the Daily Universe, which was in his Major. Whatever you decide, make sure you love it! Also, make sure you can get a job before you quit the old one -- times are tough!
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome that you got a job at the MTC...there are lots of people that apply!
