Ok. me need your help...
I arrived in NYC to live, from London, a month ago. I applied to New York University to begin my Masters degree in Clinical Nutrition in January, I won't hear back from them for a few more weeks. Meanwhile I have been looking for temping work to make a few dollars and fill my time (and make friends because my husband is my only one right now!!!).
Yesterday I went to see these recruitment consultants who I told I wanted temp work but started going on about this amazing job that was perfect for me. It really is a match made in heaven. However, it is a full time job, for a non profit organisation (medical research) and I might leave in January if I get into university because I have waited three years for this masters degree, it is my dream! However, if I don't get into university, then it would be fantastic to have a meaningful job before I reapply to get in in september again. I have no idea if the university are going to give me a place or not.
Some people say that I can work for a year and then start studying BUT I want a career in nutrition and plus, each year I delay my degree, I delay starting a family. I don't want babies now, but I know I want to have one before I am thirty - I am now 25, and the masters degree takes 2.5 years.
Is it incredibly dishonest and grotesque of me to take the job and possibly quit in two months????? Its such a waste of their energy etc BUT what about taking care of number one and the job being a kind of insurance policy for me incase I don't get into my masters???
Thanks so much for helping...
