Should I take the job??!

    Hi all,

    Need a little advice about whether to accept a part time job or not.......

    This is my situation: I have been claiming Jobseeker's Benefit for a year now and it will run out this week..........I have already applied for Jpbseekers Allowance which will be processed sometime this year hopefully! In two weeks time I will find out whether or not i have been accepted onto the Postgraduate Graduate Diploma in Education in which case I would like to apply for the Back to Education allowance.

    The thing is, I may be starting a part time job next week doing TEFL with a view to continuing this over the summer months but I dont want to jeopardise my chances of getting the Back to Education Allowance as I could not afford to do the course otherwise.

    Please help.....it seems wrong to turn down the chance of working some hours but on the other hand would it be worth it???


    Thanks,

    BB

    I think in these times you have to look at the bigger picture....So the course you are wanting to get on ?(to me) is more important right now. dont worry once you start work after your course the goverment WILL get there money back!:D

    Thanks for the input 5pawn.

    cAr0l, I think it would only be a couple of hours per day.....but maybe over 5 days.....
