Thank you your response. I appreciate it. Your questions are perfectly valid.
To answer them, I have about 20000 per month in private students sometimes its more, sometimes its less depending on who shows up , etc. If I go to Yokohama I would have to give up all of my private students because I cannot commute to where I live now and continue teaching them. However I could probably get more. Then again, I my girlfriend told me that she does not want to live in Yokohama. She want to live in Saitama. However, I am wondering how much weight I should put on that. Am I screwing myself over by taking a lower paying job? Am I putting too much though toward my girlfriend?
Thank you again!

pragmatic wrote:Hello everyone,
First I want to apologize for coming on here only when I need help. However, I am at a pivotal point here and I do not know what to do. Any constructive input would be appreciated.
I have been offered two jobs and I do not know which one to take. I have crunched numbers on a spreadsheet and I have worked out the pros and cons on a sheet of paper and I have still not reached a conclusion. My hope here is that you guys will look at my situation objectively and tell me what I should do. I completely understand that the final decision is mine to make. Here are the two jobs , their advantages and disadvantages
1. 1st job is in Yokohama and pays 270000 a month. It is a kindergarten.
pros-
-better pay
-bigger company
cons
-I have to move- I like where I live now
-My girlfriend does not want to live in Yokohama (she is NOT living with me now, but we plan to live together in the future- perhaps next year)
-I would lose my private students because I have to move (would no longer live near my friends either)
2. 2nd job is in Saitama- Pays 220000 to 230000- It is a nursery
-Pros
-My girlfriend wants to live in Saitama in the future
-I can commute there from where I live now (1 hour and 10 minutes)
-Can keep my private students
Cons-
-Lower Salary
-Smaller company
I am wondering if I am thinking about this whole thing the wrong way? I spoke with my girlfriend about this and she said either place is OK, but there are no jobs for her in Yokohama and she wants to live in Saitama. Am I basing too much on her? Am I basing too much on money? Am I too attached to where I live now (I have been living there for 5 years) Someone please tell me your honest and objective opinion. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
