‘I've been in a financial hole for years now and this job would help bring me out of it’: Man considers accepting a job that would give him a $20k+ pay increase, but his girlfriend tries to guilt him into declining because he'd be unavailable on weekends

The current state of the job market is absurd. Job seekers with over 20 years of experience and several degrees are being turned away by automated emails sent by unenthused HR managers. Post-grads are deciding that college is useless given their copious amounts of debt and inability to land an entry-level job at Target or Walmart. This economic state—a downwardly spiraling market—is unforgiving. But you knew that already, didn't you?

In this next story, a man has some real news to celebrate: After being in what he deems a "financial hole" for a long time, he recently received a job offer that gives him a $20k+ pay increase. The caveat? He has to work weekends. Clearly, nobody is especially thrilled about sacrificing their downtime, but the promise of a brighter future and contributing more to him and his girlfriend's life trumps that. His girlfriend, unfortunately, doesn't share in the same enthusiasm. Scroll below to read the full story.
