3rd Thoughts

It is far too late in the day to post and I HAVE had a glass of wine so I really shouldn't but I am really trying to maintain my commitment to "follow-through" so for those of you who are readers, I may actually have the shortest post ever.  No promises.  Big Bang Theory is going on in the background though so I may get distracted.

Before I made the decision to apply to Graduate School, I began with multiple searches on Monster.com and other related job searches.  Part-time.  I have probably applied to 30 jobs...most, if not the vast majority I really wouldn't be interested in.  However, there was this one job...I applied and thought "if I get a call from this one, I'll definitely interview and see where it goes".  Well, today I got a call from the guy actually hiring for the position, not the HR recruiter person that typically screens the applicants.  I have an interview tomorrow at 11am.  If it doesn't knock my socks off, I'll say thanks but no thanks.  I am now so concerned that I'll find some reason to not follow-through with my Graduate School plans that I'm actually talking myself out of finding a part-time job. However, the extra cash and getting something to fill in my gap would be nice. My main concern is the sacrifices I'll have to make if I take a job.  Even a part-time job.  This particular job is 30 hours a week.  It's in the Mortgage industry (new to me, I've always been in Telecom) which could be useful WHEN I finish my MA Econ (always think positive).  Hmmmm.....we'll see.  It is 5 minutes (literally) from my home and the guy hiring mentioned his wife has a part-time job where she is able to pick her children up from school and wondered if that's the sort of thing I'm looking for (yes in fact, it is).

The only glitch, I'm hoping to do 2 classes during the day in the Spring.  I suppose I could do them at night but really really wanted to do them during the day.  It just sounded so perfect to do my 2 GMAT Prep Classes in the evening for 5 weeks then a break.  Then start school (take 2 undergrad level math/econ courses) and go while my kids are in school 2 days a week then a BIG summer break then go to Grad school in the evening for a year then I'm done and ready to hit the ground running (I think).

See, I told you this would be a short post.  Once again, I'm not proofing before publishing so forgive me if it rambles or has spelling/grammar mistakes.
