My dilemma and family....

Strange but true that I am faced with a strange dilemma in personal life over joining a coveted job of working at the foreign desk of IANS. None of my family members want me to join the new job and stay in the present one. They feel this five days a week job is the best thing.

They don't wish to think about contractual six-month job and the increasing stupid work profile and pressure. None of them is interested in making a note of the very fact this is non-journalistic job.

They don't realise the importance of working on Foreign Desk that too in a reputed news agency like IANS. They are very much scared with the shift system in IANS. I have informed that the new job will involve working 8 to 4 p.m. , 4.00 p.m to 12.00 midnight. and 12.00 a.m. to 8.00 a.m. . They concern is valid but they don't understand it could be quite useful for my career graph.

All of my seniors have asked me to jump and grab this opportunity.My family, including wife, doesn't understand the importance of getting back Journalist's tag and living without it. They view everything as just a JOB.
