Where do I go from here?

So, decisions decisions.

Job 1 – nice people, long hours, on call, appalling pay, would have to get accomodation on appalling pay meaning low funds, 3 years fixed term for job, hard work, funnels into a specific area of work with less and less opportunity to branch off, working as a increasingly specialist vet, similar to what I do now but with more work, and I find what I do now sometimes fun, sometimes incredibly stressful.

Job 2 – unknown people (probably nice), 9-5, good pay (twice what Job 1 gives), wouldn’t have to get accommodation as could commute but would get it as need to get on housing ladder (means I can live with my animals again – v. important), no fixed term, unknown work level (probably easier), doesn’t cut off other areas of work immediately but is working as a teacher of vets rather than as an actual vet.

To complicate issues, for Job 1 I need to decide now, whereas Job 2 isn’t advertised and may not be advertised when I finish this year in Nov.
