I'd take it in a heartbeat. If something better comes along it can be reconsidered.

I'd take it as well, and if it didn't work out then I'd look elsewhere.
If you obey all the rules, you miss all the fun.

I would take it. I would probably continue to look, but in today's market, jobs are few & far between. The only way I would not take it is if I could make more on unemployment (if the person is getting this), and have more time to search.

I would jump on it. Jobs are vey hard to find now. If something better did open up I would then consider it but I wouldn't turn a job down on the thought that a better job might come along.

Of course I would take it, you can always be looking for more if thats what is needed but dang...take what you can get for now!
Be who you are and say what you feel, those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

30+ hours a week, good perks, money ok... and no other money coming in...
I'd jump on it, and work it until I could fine more/better."We had to get rid of the kids, the DOG was allergic!"

I would take it, like everyone said keep looking if you need more than that but take it for now, jobs here are laying off every week, one town not too far away has a hiring freeze. Most without jobs here cant find a gas station job right now.

If money-wise it wasnt necessary to take it at that point, I would wait. Especially if its way under what you're used to making. Its hard enough finding a good job, but try getting a better one while working 8am-5pm. Besides, the job will still be available later on. (the job that you're referencing to that is)
