Dilemma! Job question.?

My wife been working at AAA travel dept. for over a year, she loves her job but she says there isn't no room for her to grow but to be a travel agent and that may take a long time . Recently, we went out for 2nd jobs. I got one and she had a interview for one. Its at a clothing store that is very popular called torrid and she interviewed for the asst. manager position. they liked her and hire her. However, their hours are full time hours which take us from the concept from just have something on the side and she bound to give up her primary job for the new job she just took. She said being a manager won't be offered again and after her 90 days she gets the same benefits as she does from AAA. Overall, she says this is where she wants to be and not just working for a paycheck with no path. She's taking 1.50 paycut to work for Torrid. and this is the mall so if you ever worked in the mall you know how it goes. if she's management and business slows would she suffer Is this worth it?

She's doing what she thinks will make her happy ... If you get in her way , she'll never forget it. Support her decision , if you want to stay married.

"Retail is tough" is a good description of what the future may unfold. I'd stick with the AAA position until a more secure long-term career opportunity comes your way.

Good luck!

If your budget can survive with the pay cut and it is something that would make her happy, then she should go for it.

Retail is tough. I think you are right to consider that retail people get laid off. If a department does bad, they tend to change managers as well.

On the other hand, the rewards are not bad for someone that does well in retail. But that means producing on the bottom line and sometime that is out of her control.

If she is happier, and she sees little advancement in the old job, it is likely a good move. But I agree not as stable long term. She would need to be somebody that can "sell" themselves to find another job if laid off. But most retail people are good at selling. ;)
