MIND OVER MONEY

Currently I work at the nearby community college as an in-office administrative assistant which is a part-time job I really like a lot. However it’s not enough to pay the bills and I have to dip into savings each month. As we all know, savings is finite.

Another part time admin job at the college opened up which excited me. According to the description, the duties would be similar to the job I currently have. So I went on the interview. They told me it’s actually not an in-office job. It would be a community outreach job recruiting new students for the college. During the interview I inwardly cringed because since I have Social Anxiety and do not have an A type (“always on the go wooing crowds”) personality, I knew right then and there that this job isn’t for me. On the other hand the pay is good and would keep me from dipping into savings.

But right after I left the interview I made up my mind that this job would make me miserable. Why accept a job that would be a bad drain on my esteem?

My sense of well-being is worth much more than a paying job that’s not my cup of tea. Well, it’s dipping back into savings for me. Yet I’m satisfied with my decision.

Mind Over Money.

Good choice you made for yourself. I have an interview for a job that will give high anxiety. Not certain I can do the same for myself.
