So I wanted to post this to get some feedback and maybe some insight to another viewpoint that I may have missed. I'm torn with what I should do.
Here's the situation . . .
I recently moved to Michigan (well - about 6 months ago). It took me 2 months to find a job. After a month on the job, I was out for 2 months due to surgery. I was welcomed back with open arms. I am excellent at my job, and both my bosses constantly praise my work. I recently got a promotion and a small raise.
All this would seem like not a bad deal, but here's the thing. I live in a union mentality state and there is a fairly large amount of aminousity towards me just because I am actually doing my job and better than they are willing to do (and yes - I was even asked by the office manager to slow down - I'm setting a unobtainable standard). There is not much I can do about but put up with it. If I bring it up to the boss, then he will say something to the others and it will only make it worse for me.
On top of that - I am only making HALF of what I did when I lived in Florida, and my job does not offer any health insurance.
I have continously submitted resumes looking for something better, but jobs are not in abundance now a days.
Well, just today I was notified of an opportunity and I'm not quite sure which direction to move. I got called for a job interview - an interesting position . . . it's only administrative assistant, but for a company called FisherBioServices
"Fisher BioServices is the world leader in biological specimen management, supporting all sectors of the life sciences industry including: Pharmaceutical, Biotech, Academia and Government. Globally, we provide customized, turn-key solutions for specimen kit assembly and collection, lab processing and repository services to help ensure our customers’ success."
The job would be consist of doing a lot of what I've already done through my past years, but would also help assist in a scientific field. It would be a great position to jump into the science field. I was told that there is a possibility that the position could grow into a full time position.
(I'm going to school for Environmental Science)
Big issue . . . the new position is currently only part time. I would be making a little less than what I make now. I could always get another part time job to supplement what I may not be making.
SO . . .
Do I stay at the job that is full time but does not make me happy or do I pursue a part time job that may be more in the field I'm looking for in my future?
If any one has an opinion - I'm open to hear it all. Or if anyone knows anything about FisherBioServices - please fill me in.
thanks!
