Dear Experts, I finally got offered a job but I don't think I'm going to enjoy what I'll be working on.

Pick diff job. @gradversityQ#181 If you need the money, take the job. You can always leave after. But you may be surprised and actually enjoy it! @jtodonnellQ#181 Don't accept job you 'think' you may not like.
