So yeah, it's been too long since I made a normal post, and well this is a bit more private than FA because I really want to get this off my chest

I honestly wish I had answers, or even some good solid suggestions. Never went to college for a degree, so I don't know how valid any advice would be to your particular situation. I can say I think you should do whatever YOU feel, in your heart, has the greatest chance of making you happy. Financial solidity is a wonderful thing, but even in less than stellar money situations, you can be happy. Especially if you're following your dream. Won't always be easy, or fun, but I promise it will be worth it in the end.
It's value depreciates with time if it's not used. I'd take the lab job no matter what the pay is. Stick with lab jobs if you want to remain in a lab setting. It's easy to move out of, but it's hard to move back into... except to teaching. Teaching is good. I like teaching.
Also, if you'd like a critical eye to your résumé I'd be happy to provide one.
I HAVE been a professional researcher in various capacities for the past 10 years or so now. I do work with pathologists and the like so I can keep it clinical if that's what you're likin' at the moment. Also, I'd be happy to provide your résumé to people, again, if you'd like. :o)
I know exactly where you're coming from. I've been effectively unemployed since October, and the 1 day gigs I've been getting plus unemployment from the state has just barely been keeping me ahead on my bills. Beginning of last year I had a contract starting, and I was looking at being able to pay off all my debt within a year and freeing myself from those chains, and then I got let go because the project got pushed way back and the manager didn't care for me, even though I tried to do what I could to please her. It feels like I've been running in place since

Aw, that really sucks ;_; I lost a really fun retail job in Sept, so I know how you feel. I'm trying to get some kind of hospital related work because I'm trying to get back to school or something tech or nursing related... I think a lot of people are having tough times deciding on these kinds of things, so you aren't alone. *hugs* I knwo what you mean about art stuff though, a lot of times just having the time isn't enough >
