I have been called for an interview to the other so what do I do. I have to wait at least 3 weeks before I even know if I've got an interview to the one I really really want. Do I go for this interview with the hope that I don't get it? But what if I do get it? I'll feel awfulll if I end up getting the other then have to leave after a month or so. HELP!!

In most jobs a trial period is normal, this is a trial for both employer and employee. You should go for the interview and if yo get the job you do not like the sound of start and go for the interview with the other company.
If you still like it and get it leave the other company they may not like it but they would not think twice about getting shot of you if they did not like you.
Chances are the job you did not want will turn out to be fantastic

You ALWAYS go for as many interviews as you can - it commits you to nothing. What if the other job doesn't ask you for an interview, or doesn't like your interview performance, or likes someone else better? Are you really that great at interviews that you can guarantee the outcome.
Also, if the first job is offered to you, it's unlikely you'd start straightaway unless they've specifically stated it - and you may not have to accept straightaway either. Plus, if they do offer you the job, ring up the second one and explain that you'd much rather work for their company, and is there any chance they can bring the decision on an interview forward, before you accept the first job. You can always ask...
Depending on the job, leaving within a month may not be as unusual as you think. And you might always find out you do actually enjoy the first job!

Any job interview is a good experience for you so you must go for the interview and try your best to get the job. If you do get the job or it looks like they may appoint you say that , "I must make it clear to you that I will not be able to join until (3 weeks date or month) because I am promise bound to stay with my aunt in (anyplace) while my uncle has open heart surgery because they have no children of their own. or a serious commitment I made long back. Got the idea? A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

go for the interview, put the other one behind you for now. You haven't been offered an interview for the other job yet so its not really an opportunity yet.
You wouldn't feel guilty about going into 2 shops to look for a new TV woudl you, so you are entitled to keep your options open. If they ask are you looking at anything else just sya " I have one other role that is also of interest but that is in the early stages"
If they ask which job you prefer, don't hesisitate, you want thier job ! Very few employers will choose you if they thinkthey are second best.

Simple answer to a simple question. Get interviewed to the other job. If you get hired for both of them then you'll have a much easier problem to deal with which is choosing the right job you think is good for you.

No sweat - if you do get the job, just take the time you need to make a decision. If they reaallllly want you, they will wait. They will, however, try to push you to make a quick decision. But if you've got the job offer, you've got the luxury of at least a little time to make your decision.

Go for both of them, if you have to turn the first one down, then so what. It is your life, you have to do what you feel is right. Good luck x

Cross that bridge when you come to it.
Be aware that you may not be offered either job.
Best of luck.
