The resume building community service work will definitely prove beneficial in the long run. It just means that things will become REALLY tight financially for the next six months if I don't take the higher paying job now.
The thing is, the higher paying job would simply be that... a JOB. I have no intentions of staying in that industry. So... it looks like my only other alternative would be to take a second hourly job that offers the freedom of more flexible hours to supplement my meager income over the next few months in hopes of gaining employment in my field of choice later.
...and even though I don't get paid for the volunteer work, I really enjoy it and could see myself still offering my time and resources doing it even after I get over this unemployment to under employment hump.
So now the question is, how the heck am I going to work 60 hours a week AND volunteer AND go to school? YIKES!!!
