A Necessary Risk?

So, is an office job in the hand worth a sub job in the bush? This is the $1000 question of the night.

For those of you who don't know, I've sold out. Yup. I got an office job :/ Well, it's AT a school at least... but it's in the administrative part... the LOWEST administrative part- secretary (EEK!) Yeah, it sucks, but i'm good at it! Who knew there was so much to do behind the scenes of a school? Not me. On the up side, I get to add many new skills to my resume on top of secretary, including but not limited to: lunch maid, personal assistant, nurse, supply distributer, and go-fur (as in "Hey Ashley, can you go for stamps and envelopes at the postoffice?").

Now, as the school year is starting up again, I'm wondering if I should leave this sedentary but stable job for the joys of subbing. There might be a part-time sub position opening up for 2-4 weeks. Then, I'd be back to subbing, which wasn't a bad gig- just not very reliable. I'm at a crossroads. I donno what to do... what do you think?
