Should I get a job？
Hot 3
Should I get a job? This question has bothered me for months, but I still don't know how to answer it.
Here is my situation, which I am not comfortable to tell people who I am familiar with, that my husband will get a Phd in 4 maybe 5 months, then we plan to leave this city for another journey working in another city or travelling abroad. This decision is not finally made yet, because it depends on if he can get a good offer. So, in the dear future, we may still stay in this city, may be not.
Thus, if I try to hunt a job, which I hope is a good one, then when the interviewers ask me if I will stay in the city for a long time, I have to lie to them to get the job，otherwise you all know what's gonna happen next.
If I decide not to get a job, staying unemployed status for 5 more months in stead, I don't know how to handle it, because people judges, and the most important thing is that I don't want to let my parents down, and I don't want them to think that I am incapable to get a good job.
So, back to the question, should I get a job right nowm? I may be bathed too in myself, that I can't think straight.
If you were me, would you try to get a job now?

- Four or five months is not a short period, maybe you can try to find one and earn some money to support your life.

- Job is a job. What you concern makes you back and forth and do not know hot to deal with the current situation in the city with your husband at the uncertained future.
My suggestion is that you first put the mess in your mind away. Then make sure you are independent to find a job. Who knows what is going on in five months later? Even if your husband finally has his degree then, maybe some more other plans come out in the mid of your previous schedule.
When we are in the dilemma, we just need to focus on the thing which bothers us a lot. Then make a decision about YES or NO on it. And my choice is YES. Just do it.

- Considering that your husband and yourself are both uncertain about job prospects in this city, so there is no point in waiting a few months. You will have to assume that you gonna stay in this city. See what happens after he gets his Phd. There is no certainty that your husband can get a job immediately as he does not have much working experience, so in he end, both may end up waiting. You can apply for jobs and see what you get and if the job if fine, then take it. You do not have say that you may leave this city as you yourself is not yet certain.
