Should I take a job as an Admin Assistant with ok pay, slightly sketchy location, but is working with a nonprofit to better the world (guaranteed to get)? Or as a supply chain associate that makes a lot more, great boss, more stress, more expensive area to live though, but the job is not guaranteed?

I have worked previously in both capacities.

It sounds like you have two great options, and it can be tough to decide which one is right for you. I think you have to take into consideration your lifestyle, your values, your career goals, your financial situation, your family and friends, as well as your gut instinct. Make a pros and cons list, that always helps me decide. Good luck!

Thanks, I shall need all the help to decide!

Besides the fact that one is guaranteed and the other is not, I think in this economy/job market, I would take the job that offers better pay and benefits. It sounds more secure and like it could lead to better options down the line. Can you keep the non-profit on the line while you find out if you get the logistics job? That way you have a fall-back with the non-profit

It’s possible I could do that. The nonprofit is a contract position, and the other is a direct hire. I was wondering if that would be a jerk move or not, and whether that would burn my bridges with the temp company or not. So I’m waffling a bit.

"Everybody can be a leader" some say... "Leaders are nurtured not born" say others... True.

And, unfortunately, this doesn't work all the time
