Picking a future job can be an extremely nerve racking, unsettling process and with different offers and choices, how does one know which job to pick? It’s not an easy question, the fear of being stuck in an unsatisfying career, or the fear of being rejected and being unemployed both have huge threats. Millions of people face that decision weekly and it’s critically important to understand what the right decision is. Taking the current offered job is the best choice. First, you will receive a steady income and your daily living expenses won’t be taken directly from your savings, or your so called “vacation money.” Second, you might end up loving the “only temporary” job. Third, You can always search for another job while in a occupation.

There is no problem with simply checking out better alternatives and then pouncing when the better opportunity comes. The business world isn’t what it used to be. People used to remain in a single job for their entire lives, becoming attached to their occupations; however, in todays age, it wouldn’t be uncommon to see someone cruise through more than 6 jobs in their lifetime. It’s a competitive world and when employees are often treated like a material objects, why shouldn’t people leave when a sweeter scent arrives. According to economics people are supposed to be inherently selfish… right? The loyalty era has seemed to sail and one should look out for themselves and their family. By accepting the current offer and searching for new jobs, a safety cushion is provided for ones bank account and you can also search for the job of your life.
