What Am I Doing

Hello Everyone: Hopefully today was the last of running around for the new job. I had to go back to the clinic I went to on Monday so the nurse could visually examine the TB test site. All good. I had the nurse email the results to the school, then went to the school to drop off the fingerprinting paperwork. This better be it because I'm really starting to wonder if all this effort is worth it. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy to have this job and firmly believe that I can thrive there. It's a nice school and I think I'm going to like it there but,really, what am I doing taking a job that's more suited for someone with far less qualifications than me? The other teacher assistants are typically girls, who've been out of high school for about a year or so, maybe going to a local community college, and love working with children. Basically, they're child minders. I am not. I don't know, after all the running around I did, I'm starting to second guess my reason for accepting the job. Needing a steady flow of income is a big motivator for sure but I can do better. The Brit BF is definitely encouraging me to use some of my time in the mornings to jump on better opportunities, like the one I applied to yesterday. It's an entry-level career job that would make highest and best use of my skills and background. I'm not sure if it's in person, remote, or hybrid but the responsibilities are something I can handle. I tick off all the right skills boxes. I've been seeing quite a few of those lately; I guess people want to do other things rather than a 9-to-5 job. Fine, that leaves an opening for me. Anyway, I decided that I will do the job I have well but also take meetings with the jobs I applied for because who knows, right?
