If I ever got an offer for a better paying job, closer to home. I would grab it with out feeling bad about it.

Surly I might have doubts at first but hey lifes to short to have to many doubts like this one.

Go for it, good luck too.

Maybe talk to your boss and explain that you have been offered a better job for more money. Maybe you will get a raise? If you really love your job, thats the important thing...theres nothing worse then going to a job that you hate!!
You have to keep in mind if its closer to home and the pay is better, is it the type of work you like? I guess you need to weigh out the options and figure out whats best for you and your child!! I think if it was me, I would take the higher paying job and go for less milage!!
Good luck, I hope you make the right decision

The job closer to home is in the same field as the other one. So I would still be doing the same thing I love doing. Its just the people I work with now are all so awesome...they make my day worth being there. Good chemistry. But after reading everyone's advice it sounds like what I should do is take the new job. Thanks again to everyones good advice and by the way I would love to make some new friends so don't be shy about sending me mail. :)
