Good luck! One word of advice: Never pass on a good job hoping a better one comes along. I don't know if you consider the canyon job good, but if it fits right now for you, take it. There's nothing stopping you from taking a better offer later, and if it is awhile until the better offer, you arfe building turbine MULTI. The multi is important since you have 30 hours.
That is exactly what is making this decision sooooo hard..... I have a class date for the canyon job. It's basically 3 times the pay (if you can believe that lol) compared to what I am making right now instructing. That's not saying very much at all though. (The instruction pay can get better, I am just in a slow season at the end of the semester here.) I am having a really hard time giving up on this job when I don't have so much as an interview on the horizon at a regional. (I will have my stuff on airlineapps.com as of Monday) Basically I would be giving up a sure thing, for the hopes of a regional job. I am seriously back and forth every day on it.
Some may say take the job and if the regionals call, just bail. But there it a really annoying 1 year contract at the canyon job........makes it a tough decision.
