Hi everyone,
Okay, so after one whole year of unemployment (I'm 24), I finally managed to find a new job. But that's not what I expected: I was looking for an outdoor job so that I could protect as much as possible my eyes. Because, I must be a lucky one compared to some people on this forum, but when I'm at home, or outside (if it's not too windy or cold), my eyes are almost okay: I rarely need drops though cold compresses few times a day do help. That's when it comes to staying in an office where things become funny: I can't stand (bear?) it. I've tried twice, in my two previous jobs: I was working all day long on the computer, with artificial lights and climatisation. That was dreadfull. A real nightmare and the two worst periods in my life so far.
And today, I received an agreement for a 6 months contract for a job which is in addition really well paid, but conditions will be terrible for my eyes. I've seen it during my appointment: tough climatisation in the office, loads of neons as light source, and a job requiring to stay all day long on a computer. So I'm lost. I don't want to accept it. I'm not lazzy, I'd like to work, really, but not in these conditions. I've applied for other jobs, but that's the only one I got, and after one whole year jobless, that would be numbed not to accept such an opportunity. I can't ask advice from my familly, they wouldn't understand why I'm even thinking and wondering of what to do. They just don't understand what I will have to bear if I'm working there.
So here I am, trying to make the good choice, for a job I'll be glad to do (and for a high salary I've never been offered before!), but that I know I can't do for long. I can last one month maybe, at the best, but what about the pain I'll have to endure? Such a shame, when in a normal life I should be partying and celebrating now for such an opportunity.
I'm not complaining, I just want advice from people that can understand the whole thing
