* NEED ADVICE BAD* I'm confused, and I don't know what to do

Original post by Danielle&Scott

I'm debating the whole postal job now...I don't know what to do. I dont know about taking the postal job. It has its benefits but it has it negatives too.

I have to work all weekends, saturday and sunday, all holidays, including christmas and new years, and on my days off they call you and ask you to work...If you say no that is looked at as bad.

The benefits are good dont get me wrong...but I keep asking myself do I really want to work all those hours, outdoors in the extreme cold and the extreme heat.
What do you think I should do? I am still thinking about going back to school for computers, fixing and maintaining them. I like working on computers, and Danielle thinks that would probably be a good thing for me. I agree with her. I don't know about the whole postal job. I am really confused. I don't think it is a good sign that I am so confused. If it was something I wanted to do I wouldnt be weighing the pro's and con's all the time.
Forget about going on vacation for the next two years....Danielle and I are planning a 1 year anniversary trip. We wont be able to do it. You have to be accessible for the first year of employment...In case they need you to work if someone is out sick.....
I don't know what to do. I just printed out the Farmingdale University brochure and I see they have a computer BA Degree program tat looks interesting.
What do you think I should do? Do you think I should skip it this time, and if I want, I can always take the test again....If I decide I want to do it.
Please help me...I am so confused.
Thanks,
Scott

If you are not 100% I would not do it. You don't want to go from an already bad situation to potentially another one??? I would stay were you are untill you figure out what it is your really want to do.

Either way best of Luck to you!

Thanks...I think I am going to stay here for now. If in the future i realize I made a mistake, I will just take the test again. What do I tell the woman from the post office when she calls about why I cannot accept the position?

I'd just say you are recently married and after discussing it with your wife you think the working weekends and holidays would be too much of a hardship on your family life at this point...Don't burn bridges entirely in case you want it later! I would actually write up a letter turning down the job so they could put it in your file...
