I’m so stressed irl.
I can’t decide what to do about my work situation.
New job offer is a low hourly pay rate but offers commission that is pretty consistent according to my stepmom who works there. I know I won’t like doing the job, which is a call center environment. But this job may offer better career opportunities.
Current job offered a pay raise to keep me which is in total $5 per hour higher than the new job, but no commission. I’ve been here for a few years and am comfortable and know what I’m doing, but there’s really no career growth here at all.
Neither job is what I want to do long term anyway (I don’t know what I want to do) but I cannot decide which job to go with. 😭😭😭

It just depends on what is most important to you in the long run. Is it career growth, pay, or how you like it in general, especially if you are going to be there for a while? You said you won't like doing the job, but if you know you can find ways to make it bearable then maybe option 1. Don't be like me, who is stuck between a rock and a hard place, where I want to leave my job because the environment has taken such a huge toll on my mental health, but I don't know what the next route is for me because I feel so stuck. The pay is decent, but it would nice to have good mental health I guess. Whatever choice you decide, it will be big and best of luck with what you do. At least you have a path for both of them which is good.
I think you should chase (no pun intended) the things that make you happy in life because who knows what’s going to come after.
at our age, stagnation is the biggest threat. go somewhere where you can grow! but i know its hard when it feels like options are limited. try to combat the stress and anxiety by being present in the moment and taking it one day at a time.
