I hope this is God’s will…

Okay, so as of today I am now gainfully employed. I start working Monday at the Scholastic ETV Consortium. It’s going to be a fairly fun job as in I get to work with PBS stations across the country and make trips to give presentations, etc.

The big down side is that they are not paying me nearly what I’m worth, nor what the position is worth. It’s a salaried position, but I’m basically getting paid $10/hr. That’s just under $21K/yr and I’m ideally needing $36K (it’s what the job at The Rock was going to pay). I definately can’t get my own apartment and I’m wondering how I’m even going to pay my bills.

I do get health benefits and stuff after 90 days, so that’s good, and the position has a LOT of opportunity for growth and advancement if I do well and I know I will. I feel like I’m a good fit for the position and vice versa. I’m just disappointed because the amount of traveling that is going to be involved means that I won’t be able to take ANY classes this semester. Not even night classes. I’m going to see if I can salvage one or two, but it’s going to be tough.

Anyway, like I said, I really felt like I had to take this job, even if it’s not paying enough. I’m just hoping that this is really what God wants for me. We’ll see, right?
