DMV Office Manager vs Youth Service Librarian


Hey everyone. I think some of you know about how I have been in libraries for most of my professional life, and right now Im looking at another career move. My current library system has been seeing budget cut after budget cut and while Ive been told that I would be safe, Im still yielding to the side of caution. With that in mind, Ive recently come into two opportunities.

Both are for the same county which is a very wealthy area and has been on the rise for some time.

The first position is a DMV office manager. Its a well reviewed location and seems well staffed from everything Ive seen. The pay would be about $2500 more per year than what I make now. The work wouldnt be as fulfilling but it would have a lot of stability and be less exhausting.

The second position is a Youth Service Librarian. It would be pretty much the same job I do now, but it wouldnt have any supervisory responsibilities. It pays about $1500 LESS per year than my current job. It would be more fulfilling but I would take my work home with me more. This library has 20 times the budget as my current job, but I am worried about the stability of the library industry as a whole.

Hours are same across both jobs and the DMV job would be about half the drive.

Obviously Im discussing this extensively with my wife, but more input is always good.
