It's hard to put into words exactly my problem here but I'll just type it out and hope it falls into some form of logic.
I bought my house a year ago, as a single income retail worker. At the time I was thinking of futher study to take on a law degree but shortly after buying, another job opportunity arose within my field. I was accepted for this position and spent six months working two jobs 50 hours a week, using my retail work as a safety net to protect the mortgage. Working two jobs seemed like the smartest option, and sure enough once Covid hit I was made redundant at the new job. Since then I've been getting by working 10-20 hours a week at the retail job.
Shortly before I lost my job, I had started seeing someone. He moved in to assist with the bills, and having a lot of time together really deepened our relationship. I've been happier and more at peace in life than I ever thought I could be; I came to terms with Covid basically obliterating the jobs market and have just been enjoying reading, playing games and working on house repairs.
However, the real world came knocking yesterday. Another job arose in my field. I could apply for it, no harm done. But strange coincidence, a family friend came to me; he knows someone who knows someone who is a lawyer, looking for a secretary. Full-time work, a chance to change careers and learn something new, and I would be slotted into the position because 'it's not what you know; it's who you know'.
So that's my condundrum. I could:
A: Continue life in this happy little bubble, ride out whatever comes next with Covid while working minimum retail. Eventually the real world will come knocking again and I'll have to make a decision, just not today.
B: Potentially return to the career I had trained for and been made redundant in. Going back to 50 hours a week, not knowing if another round of redundancies will always be on the horizon. This is a place that I've noticed has a high turnover rate and a mixed bag of reviews on Glassdoor. At the same time, it's a position I could do well in if given the chance.
C: Take up this family friend position in a field I'd previously been considering a career change to. Again 50 hours a week. Something new. Not sure if I'd even be any good at it. Would be akin to interning for the chance to eventually build a new career path.
And that's where I'm at. What do you think, reddit? Any thoughts or tips about what to do?
