What to do???

So I recently had an interview with Cintas about taking a managment trainee position with their company. Cintas is an amzing company with some amazing oppurtunities for growth and advancement with a solid training structure set up. At the same time the position requires at least a two year commitment of working 50-55hours a week. The hours do not scare me away from the job but rather the fact that I will be locking into a job that works me every day of the year. The other option is to pursue the teaching certification program I have already been accepted to. The benefits of this are that it pays close to the same amount and also would still afford me the ability to coach football, which after some questions asked in my interview Im not sure Im done with yet. On top of that with teaching you are looking at about a 9 month work year, not a bad gig even if the pay is less as you can work in the summer and make more money. The benefits and negatives are there, its just up to me to decide what course of action seems to be most logical. The ability to work with people and help them grow is evident in either position but I feel that the connections and bonds of working in a school and teaching/coaching young people is far more lasting.

Any thoughts or comments are welcome, please leave some I could use other opinions.

Well, it seems as though you have a dilema. I imagine that things are still a bit upside down after your rather hasty move into unemployment.

Whatever you choose, don't be afraid to go with the decision that feels best for you. If it feels right, it probably is. On the other hand, you gotta be able to put food in your mouth, too!

The balance between practical and ideal is very tough to achieve.

Good luck either way.
