USA.

Interview for a position working for the county. They told me the salary, which is about 1/2 of what I'm accustomed. But, I've been basically unemployed for about one year. The job is about 70 miles away. Doing the math, the cost would be about $600.00 per month. Getting an apartment about the same.

Im relluctant to move for low paying job, but benefits are better than corporate positions. I live in another county, and wife does not want to move/give up her job. With the economy, it's not feasible to sell our house either.

My question is should I take job or pass on it, as I feel they will make an offer since I took drug test, which I know I'll pass.

Thanks,

eb

This is something you and your wife should seriously discuss, and weigh mostly against your financial situation at present. How bad is it? That should be one of the main considerations, as well as any earnings that you may get from the job. If you have to dump most of those earnings into an apartment there to keep costs of commuting down, as well as having to be away from your family, those kinds of costs could potentially be more damaging than anything a paycheck could provide. My advice? If you can afford it, stay with your family and keep looking.
