And yet another Job Decision needs to be made.

My mom works at a school for autism kids. Well they are hiring, and at first the job they were offering was for a part-time teacher for 1 to 4.5 yr kids. It was 30 hours a week, at $13 a hr. plus benefits, the kids would be both "normal" and autistic. Many of my friends know I have a slight unnatural fear of kids. I like them okay I just can't handle them for long periods of time. But I was willing to take this job, cause one it would be easy to get to work. If my mom goes I go, which is a big thing because I don't have a car to provide my own transportation. Plus it was a job which meant money would be coming in. And at this junction I need money. I wanted to have a job before February...but since that's tomorrow...I need to kick things into an higher gear.

So I sent my resume to my mom so that she could give it to the head boss. Well today my mom sent me an email saying that the teacher who I would be working with has decided that they don't want another person in there. Which doesn't make sense to me, why didn't they say something before and just not have the job offered. So the boss has decided to do another job offering, instead of being just in one class I would be doing 1:1 with some students plus work in several different classrooms. I would basically be a private tutor for autistic kids. I believe that the pay is slightly higher and I think it might even be full time, not sure. And while the aspect of working with autistic children might be admirable I'm not sure about the whole idea of it. I mean I loved working with my mom when we worked with two of her kids especially the one little girl. But what if I got saddled with one that was destructive to themselves and others, I couldn't handle that. And what if I had to help them learn how to use the potty, or if they had a bathroom accident? Its different when it's a toddler then when it's a kid that's 10. Not only that but the working condition isn't all that great. The people there, especially some of the management are basically not cut out to be in the positions they have. And I don't handle poor management well, I run right over them I can't help it I just do.

So if there is anyone out there actually reading this I would like your thoughts on this conundrum. There doesn't seem to be another option in the horizon and I have bills to pay and a sanity to keep. But just at the same time is this not a similar problem that I found in the Edward Jones job offer?
