which job should i pursue?
i am a 30 year old male who is struggling to figure out which direction i should go.
some background:
i have a high school education and have been to some college classes, but have dropped out twice. i have had more jobs than i can recall, in many different "fields", and therefore my resume looks like a patchwork quilt. i have just started a "job" that i really don't like, but i was unemployed for most of the summer and was unable to find work mostly due to my spotty resume. i was working a seasonal job last fall/winter that i actually enjoyed, but is only available 6 months a year. to further complicate things, i *may* be offered a temporary position that would make me very happy, but would ruin my current job and the seasonal job i might go back to.
basically, since i have nothing solid to fall back on, i'm constantly struggling with what makes me happy and what pays the bills

Maybe give some free advice about: Job Searches?
Keep in mind that after doing seasonal work
for a while (and I'm not sure how long), you
can draw unemployment in the off season. That
may help in your decision making.
Many a temporary job has led to a permanent
job as well. If you do well and they like you,
they are going to try and keep you on if its
at all possible.
Now that really helps doesn't it? Probably
gave you even more to think about!
Do what makes you happy. Its hard to get up
and go to work everyday if you can't stand
your job. :)
