new job

· · 🌡️ 38°F


i really needed a job, so i went to the temp agency. it turned out that they liked me so much that they asked me to work for them, at their agency.

i now have a job giving other people jobs. i actually really like this job. and they really want me to stay.

i now have a dilemma.

i've been studying income taxes so that i can be an income tax preparer. i thought this would be the ideal job for me while i spend much of my time farming. pretty much because
1. tax season is January 15-April 15, which won't interfere with my farming
2. i am really good at math
3. i already know a lot about income taxes
4. the training only cost $80 (after reviewing my life, i realized that the only thing i regretted was wasting so much money on education that i didn't end up using)

i suppose i don't have to decide what to do soon, but i am wondering if i should stay at this job or actually switch to an income tax preparer job.

    Kafka could have written a novel about you :)

    The temp agency sounds great. Maybe you should share with them your dilemma. They might be willing to have you work there seasonally? It seems like the temp agency is a better way for you to connect with people. You kind of get to develop a relationship with the people who go through the agency.

    Unless you're going to making a boatload of money quick by gaining commission on those "Refund Anticipation Loan" products, then stick with the bird in the hand (the temp job.) Having stable employment in this economy is something of tremendous value.

    Well - what is the denouement of this story? Are you a part income tax preparer part farmer?
