I need help- a very hard decision?

I'm 25- BA Degree. Got laid off And I'm getting unemployment. I just got offered a job for $11 hr at a dead end job. I've started my own business, but it's not enough to pay bills/rent right now. I'm in huge debt. Over $8,000

So I have limited options:

#1- Take this job. Quit unemployment. Look for something better in my field at nights/ weekends. And stay in major debt , and Pray that something will come up.

#2- Take this job. Work on my business on nights weekends. Hope for more business. And stay in debt.

#3- Take this job. Get a second job. Quit my business. Don't go to school. And hope that I get a promotion.

#4- Don't take the job. Get unemployment. Move to another state and live with family rent free. Go back to school for my Graduate degree. Get a full time job. Get out of debt. Work on my business. And look for a job in my field. And pray that I stay out of debt.

What would you do in my situation?

Don't quit your business. Well don't quit having a business. I don't know what type of business you do or its potential or the amount of time it takes or how passionate you are about it.

But your own business is what keeps you from ever being in this same situation again. Only do the most important task in your business daily. 80/20 rule. Those task would be task that either bring in leads, make sales, or create automation.

Take the job. Still look for something better on the weekends. And work your business daily after work and or before.

I'd go with #4.

Staying in debt is never a good idea. My boyfriend did this when he was in med school and regrets it. Best of luck to you.

Looks like a combination of 1 and 2 sounds good. Since you're in debt now, you need money now. $11 dollars per hour is $11 dollars. Try to take this job, quit unemployment. Pray and try to work on with your business.
Unless, of course, mommy and daddy will help. How do you feel about that? Goodluck.

You sound like a motivated, intelligent person who has thought this out very well. Why would you ask a bunch of strangers who know nothing about you advice on something like this. Think about it some more. Talk to your family and close friends and make this decision on your own. I'm sure you're up to it.
