How frustrating shs have you decided whether to apply or not yet?

smallholdingsister

Not yet.

I know what the morally correct thing is, but it's not the practically right for the family choice.

newgirly

If it was your dd /ds what would you advise them to do?

Ps have sent you a friend request on mfp

smallholdingsister

I love your MFP username!

If it was my child I would *probably* say go for it.

If it was my trainee I would say it's verboten.

Sorry to hear you have been unwell. Good luck with job application decision making. Timing doesn't sound great but job does.

smallholdingsister

We eeel. The job I am in has a nice HOD.
The other job has a HOD who is known as not...so nice.

Mmmmm so tricky. I think you just have to go with the gut feeling. Good luck,

Oh! That's important, about the HODs. And as for the thing about the right moral choice ... honestly, SHS, I don't think its about morals, I think its often about being a nice person - not the same thing at all. Making the wrong moral choice would be lying by commission, for instance, to either school.

In the end, though, its you thats got to do it, and then to live with it - and your answer to newgirly's question is really interesting! What makes the difference? You're entitled to "be" your child in this scenario, you know!
