My friend Brian is very helpful. He's sent me some job leads over the last few days. All in the dream industry in which I would love to work. (If you haven't figured out that it's movies, then you're a bit slow.)


So I sent him an e-mail thanking him for his dutiful eye keeping a lookout for me, especially in the midst of his own busy schedule. As soon as I push send on the letter, a place called Agent Resources calls me and offers to set up an interview with Farmers Insurance and Financial Services. They found my resume at Careerbuilder.com.


I have an interview on thursday at 4 PM.


I feel so ... desperate. Dirty. Low. And desperate some more.


Is it better to not have a job, and continue looking for jobs in your dream field, or is it better to pay bills with a paycheck than from your savings account?


I think Gungy and The Man's assistance is needed on this one. They both actually didn't work for about a year. But I don't know if they were looking for jobs, either. I do know that they had to live on savings, or in The Man's case, his wife's savings, at least for part of the year.


I said to Brian, "They got my resume off Careerbuilder.com ...ah, careerbuilder will be the end of me yet... such huge moral dilemmas I get myself into..."


Zappo said it would be a good practice interview, since I blew the last interview. But what if I am offered the job in a week, in a couple weeks, and I still have nothing?


So I need your opinions. Is it better to keep the hope alive until it works out, or is it better to sell out and take a job with Farmers Insurance, considering they offer me one?
