I have been unemployed for 3 months now with no luck, so I signed up for a temp agency. They called me tell me they got a call from a company I interviewed for back in '05. I was the runner-up. They wanted me for a temp to perm position that fits my skills to a T plus the salary is great. It's work I love to do, so I jumped at it. I've been there for 1 week & everyone there tells me they want to hire me. Great, BUT...The company is located next to the Philly airport & south of the 3 football/baseball/concert arenas. I live 45 min by car (w/no traffic). I decided it's best to use public trans. So to get there, I take the regional rail train to center city Philly, hop on the subway, jump onto bus & then walk a few yards. Then I repeat the process in reverse. The bus picking up to take me home, doesn't run frequently. I've been working 9-5:15 & still get home about 7-7:30. On average, it takes me over an hour either way.
What to do? I have little debt, rent +. No kids, just hubby.

Also, I don't like crowds & suffer from a mild anxiety disorder.

If the job itself is going well, try to stick with it, at least until you find something else. The commute sounds like kind of a pain, but commutes of around an hour aren't unusual.

Both career paths have their ups and downs. Personally i believe that nursing is one of the best career choices for women. In the nursing profession, you get to somewhat choose your own schedule, you have the pleasure of caretaking those in need, and also this career is in high demand so you won't have to worry about finding work after school. Teaching on the other hand has other rewards. One of the best advantages in this field is summers off, always a guaranteed season to relax, unless you wanted to take up a second job. Also in teaching, you can take up opportunities to become further involved in the school system that can earn you a little more on your paycheck (coaching, head of a club, pta). Hopefully, you can decide what field is best for you. Either way you will be helping people! Also, remember that the first year of college is more of exploring fields, you can always change your mind. Looking at the bigger picture, if you do decide that you aren't happy with your choice, community college is always there! More and more people these days are going back to school in their 30's, 40's even 50's. I hope my answer is somewhat helpful. Good luck!! -Katie

You're in a great and lucky position. You've found a job that pays great, the people sound nice, you want to be there, and they want you there.
There are pros and cons to everything. Here, the con is the transportation. So, read a book, think good thoughts, knit, or laugh at all the people swearing in their cars, while you're relaxing on the bus, waiting to be loved by your hubby, after a great, productive day.

Well if you can drive and love your job do it! It is the American way to drive to work. Hopefully you will be full time soon. Just keep putting yourself in the best position. But if you dread the ride or return from work to home it ruins your great attitude which might affect you working. You have time to save and worry about watching pennies later. Drive to work and enjoy your time there!

Stick with the job.
If they offer to hire you, that's the time to talk about different hour so that you can always catch the bus that runs infrequently but that gets you home quicker.
