Take my first full time job or wait until after the holidays to work
I am 26 years old and recently got offered a job for 45k. Not a bad starting salary for someone without a degree. I know this sounds ridiculous but I love November and December time of year, and I would be starting this position on November 27th (Cyber Monday). There is no other training on any other dates. I'm so used to having this time to go christmas shopping/black friday etc.) I know sounds childish but it is important to me. I do have savings to get me by until March. My heart is not set with this career path but it is the highest salary I have been offered. I do not like working in a cubicle, and feel I shine best in a retail environment and the stigma for working there at my age is terrible and the pay is low. However, I love fast paced env.
The last 7 years I have been living with my partner who pays for my car, my insurance, and I have no rent payment. Seeing that I have no bills of my own to pay for I can always fall back on him. I do however pay my own food and gas though. I had 20+ jobs in the last 6 years. I do have a part time job but only working 5 hours a week there.
I suffer a great deal from anxiety/depression and I do seek therapy once a week for the last 5 yrs and I'm on meds but may be holding me back not sure.
I really would try this job if it was not for the holiday season, ,which I understand is only 1 day. But I feel so anxious I will not enjoy it as much because if I take this job my life will be a complete 360 with no time for anything and the holiday wont even be enjoyable.

I would definitely take the job not many people get offered a job for 45k so in your case you are one of the lucky one’s who did it’s a once and a lifetime opportunity take the offer while it still stands while you still have a chance because if you don’t you could end up regretting the fact that you didn’t and you’ll still be relying depending on your partner why fall back on him when you have a chance not to? You shouldn’t allow the holiday season to stop you from working you have your whole life to celebrate the holiday’s even if you can’t celebrate this year there is always next year not to mention you can shop on your days off do something special when you have free time your life won’t be a complete 360 with no time for anything because by law employers have to give their employees day’s off you’ll still be able to do what you want i would definitely go for it and not let the chance slip away you are being offered something not most people get the chance to have since the majority of job’s pay minimum wage

It is time you stand up and put on your adult pants and be an adult. This is what life as an adult is like. Sometimes you need to accept that when opportunity knocks you have to accept the innovation no matter how inconvenient it may be.
Jobs are still hard to find in career choices that pay living wages. You are being offered a position at what I assume may be entry level with a salary usually reserved for someone with a great deal of experience. You would be extremely foolish to walk away from this for the reasons you give. actually they are excuses and not reasons. Reasons have sound meaning yours do not making them excuses.
Your manner of celebrating the holidays change when you become and adult. You shop in the evenings or during the day, when your not working and your days off. You will still have the holiday itself of to spend with your partner and family.
Stop making excuses. Time to become an adult and leave childhood behind you where it belongs. Take the job and work at it with full potential so as to retain it.
