so wait....why are you gonna bail? you need to work, you're already doin a job you don't care for, and you were doin it well enough that you were offered a promotion. you've gotta support that family of yours and you're in school. i say stick with it. does it come with a pay increase? sometimes you land in the next tax bracket and end up with less in your pocket. if such is not the case, i'd advise you to accept. even if it's the same money, i'd advise you to accept. at the very least you can put promotions in your work history, so you still gain something. if you can sustain the damage in your avatar, you can sustain this.
