Condundrum....

I got a call this morning for a job interview. A job I usually would've been more than excited about in the US. A job in which their job description matches my resume perfectly. A manager job. The next step in my career.

I'm at a crossroads about this though. As I said, John and I are seriously considering life after the Navy in the next 5 years. We need to save as much money as we can so that we don't have to be stressed when we return to the US. Who knows, maybe we can save enough for an upfront cash payment on a house in a nice neighborhood. This job could definitely help towards those goals. We wouldn't need any of my paycheck and we could throw it all into savings watching it pile up year after year.

On the other hand, this job is a full time managerial position. Do I really want to put myself in a position to be stressed like I was in San Diego? Do I really want to cut down the time I have to explore Japan? Am I exploring Japan now sitting in a hotel room? I don't like to explore without John and he works 7-3 five days a week. He has a full-time job and he's not stressing about it.

I just don't know what to do. I'm going to go to the interview and hopefully they'll talk about salary. The price is going to have to be extremely right for me to consider taking this job. The money would be nice, but at what cost?

Ugh. This is going to be a hard one folks.
