Careers...part 2

So I got a call from a friend the other day and she tells me her company has an open position and thought of me.  Now before you say or think anything...I know I have only been at my current job for 10mos but seriously, I only took the job because I needed a permanent position and benefits because the last one was a contract position.  Since then I have determined that I really can't see myself doing this for a long time.  So when she called I jumped on it.  So I am prepping my resume and will hopefully spark an interest for an interview.

Now on the other hand, when I mention this to my husband...his response?  "You haven't even been at this one a year!  You promised!"  I promised, I know, but how can I pass up a chance to work for a better company, with locations all over the area, and MORE money?  You would think my husband at least supportive, but instead goes the other way.  Like he doesn't want me to better myself and my salary.  I don't understand this...

Anyone want to enlighten me on this?

Careers

This is a question for the masses.  How did you decide what you wanted to do as a career?  Did you know from the beginning or did it kind of "fall" into your lap?

I have been contemplating about going back to school and finally go in the direction of a career and not just a job but I am clueless as to what I want to do with the rest of my life!  Its such a big decision.  You want to think about it carefully otherwise you risk loosing time and money.  I think back to a job I had working with Commercial Insurance Compliance and remember really enjoying it and the knowledge I learned along the way...the down side, most companies wont pay anywhere close to what I am making now or they pay a low base wage plus bonus.

Anyways...would love to hear your input on this and maybe our own story of how you got where you are.
