<prompt> Human: From 18-20 I worked for a property management company and made like 35k a year which I dont think is bad at all being young. I had my daughter and have been off for a year. Old job has asked for me back three times in the last year Ive been off and they want me to take my old job for 3 more an hour. I am taking that job and going to school at the same time for a nursing degree. I was going to take the job and make some extra money until Fall 2019 when nursing program starts. I have all my pre reqs and coreqs done after this semester and was going to apply for the nursing program starting Fall 2019. However, since I have friends in the company like the assistant Vice President AVP I have some info the current manager doesnt. In 6months or less they want to get rid of the current manager and replace her with me. Id be the youngest manager in company history. The reason being is this property is outside the metroplex hub so not a lot of managers want to drive to this property and its CRAZY busy and nobody has stayed longer than 6 months except me. I know it inside and out. This would mean a huge pay increase. Around 75,000 a year vs 35,000. I want to be a nurse eventually, but Jesus I dont think I can pass that up. Thats a little more than Id be making as a nurse with a bachelors. I should definitely take this job right? I can always be a nurse later. Ill finish this semester since I already paid for it and dont want any Ws on my transcripts. Id be able to pay off my car note 23,000 faster and pay off my 5,000 in credit card debt in no time. This is the smarter move right? My husband only makes about 50,000 give or take a year currently.  <response>: Well, when I was young I didnt know what I wanted to do other then make money. So I did. I worked hard, lots of hours, and lots of jobs. Eventually I was successful and I had a series of great jobs. 85-120k range until my early 30s. I hated what I did though and so I hated my life 8-10hrs a day 5-7 days a week. The stress from that feeling of meaninglessness broke my wife and I up. Eventually leading to me making many changes and going back to school to be a nurse. Now, none of that has anything to do with you per say. If you didnt mind the work the money can make a big difference to a family lord knows that why I didnt make a change sooner. Money isnt everything though. Think through your next year, five and ten years. Will you have a better life as a nurse? Will money now help your family more then a career later? No right or wrong answers. I totally get why you are asking the Internet for help. I know I type things into google bars myself like sending off little Digital prays into the ether...Anyway, good luck, and for the record, my wife and I are still together after what amounted to a week break.
