I am looking for any advice here. My main problem is that I had a few jobs where I was in charge and I enjoy it because I am by nature the type of person that likes to lead but I have trouble managing the stress that goes along with it. I was thinking of calling the local university tomorrow to ask about pay. HR is suppossed to call me this week with all the details and the start date but the other company wants my answer by end of day tomorrow. HELP!!

kak125,
job choice #1; if you want to less stress....
or,
job choice #2; if you can take the additional stress....
so,
delay making a decision on #1, &, accept #2,
#2 is 5 minutes away, with an hour for lunch, (good stress relief),
if you find that #2 does not work out, then fall back on #1,
"it's only stress", you can handle it,
g....
