well,she is only 1yr old and as much as she does need you now,she will be more demanding (in a good way) when she 5 and in school.By then you will of worked your way well into the position and become more flexible.You can participate with school things etc and out of school sports or dancing etc.And you will be able to afford it.I worked 3jobs whilst my 2 were baby's and i had better financial security.And the went to a private school for 2yrs.I was a single mum too and i still am.Your owners know of your family situation,so make sure you can negotiate some things and find some balance.Congrates is in order.cheers always sheree :)

Wow...congratulations on the offer! That's awesome!
Well if you enjoy what you are doing now and the money/hours/benefits are great, why look for trouble? If you love your current job, would you love being a manager and not being on the air where you are so happy/comfortable? I guess it would depend on how many more hours you'll be at work instead of with your baby. The offer sounds unbelievable, but is it worth not seeing your child grow up? Tough decision! Maybe you can still take the management job, but negotiate so you can still have more time at home. Maybe you can ask if you can work from home one day a week and eliminate having the sitter that day. Explain to them that the position is very important to you, but so is your child and you don't want to be away from him/her anymore than you have to.
I hope that helps...good luck to you!

Well, it sounds like you are content with where you are now. I know more money always sounds good. However, at the price of gaining a job that will cause stress and take time from your family, is the price increase really worth it?
Besides, I don't know a lot about radio, but isn't being a well known personality worth more in that business than being a operations manager?

Make a list of the pros and cons. Consider time with your family, job satisfaction, do you need to make more money, would this new job be good overall for your career, what do you want in terms of your career, etc. Are your children old enough to offer an opinion? Can you discuss this with a family member or a close friend? It is a tough decision, and in the end, only you can make it. Best of luck, whatever you decide.

If your children are old enough I would ask them what they think about it. We aren't going to be the ones to deal with you working longer but you have to look at this long term. Will the extra money really benefit you in the long run such as helping get your children through school and what will be your benefits such as a retirement plan and insurance. If it is going to bring a better opportunity to you and your family I say go for it. Nowadays its hard to find something steady and manages to benefit you and your family. I say just talk to your children and involve them in your decision.

How old are your children, and will they miss you those extra hours you'll be gone?
If success in your career is your utmost goal, go for it. If success as a parent is your utmost goal, then stay with the on air gig.
PS... I didn't know anyone except Howard Stern and Don Imus made great money hours and bennies in radio. WTG!

Job security has to factor in high, Op Mgr sounds like it could be more stable. The new guy might decide to go in a different direction, then you're out.

I find it too risky. These days most kids end up feeling sad and lonely just because parents have so little time for them. Since you already are a single parent and have no backup when it comes to your children's education, I'd rather stick to the current job

Does the more money out weigh the current situation..If what you make now with the current hours and such is enough to support yourself and child then stay with the better hours...also how would the new hours affect your child
