That is kinda like me and my dh. I took 2 p/t jobs in the same field last august(they're 2 blocks apart) and I go to college too. Dh works(f/t) at p/t job #2 which makes a big difference in our family life(we can plan things now-holidays, vacation etc) I got job#2 unconditionally(no interview) and job #1(interview). We had our finances planned that if job#1 fell through, that we could live on job #2. So if job #1 ends this summer w/o a new contract, I still have a job, and can still go to school which is why I left my f/t job to begin with after 8 yrs there(also burned out-liked the job and the people). I gave up some good benefits, but I've regained tons of family time and peace of mind. was it worth it?? YES I'd do it again. Jennifer
