Job Hunting

It's been nearly two months now, and the job hunt hasn't been going so well. There just aren't a lot of prospects locally, and the out of state opportunities we've pursued so far haven't materialized. Dave's buddy X has offered him a job in his business, servicing X-Ray machines. Dave has worked odd jobs for him before, but working full-time is a whole other ball game. For one thing, I know Dave would love to continue working with seniors (Assisted Living was the first job he's ever been truly passionate about). But that's not my primary concern. There are three ways I know of to ruin a perfectly good friendship: borrow money, become roommates, or go into business together. Dave and X have been friends for over 10 years, and he was best man in our wedding. In my opinion, that's too precious a friendship to risk. Business deals can go sour all too easily, and take relationships down with them. Even in success, two people with different opinions on how things should be done is enough to strain even the closest friendships. That's a risk I'd rather not take, but ultimately, it's up to Dave.
