A Dilemma-advice please

Right I am doing a History degree but have always been interested in pub management having always worked part time in this industry. Both me and my boyfriend work at the same place-he is a fulll time chef and i work on bar/restaurant full time during hols and part time during uni. I have worked there for over 3 years aside from a 6month break, when i recently returned. I love my job, and they have just offered us a live in job to help run and lock up etc(they have kids and live next door). We would be living in a 3 bed flat above the pub, rent and food costs for free. It wouldnt affect my Uni work as id carry on my hours as they are/will be, just have to have extra duties such as lock-up, tills and rotas. I love my degree and have no intention of giving it up, but i feel it would give us experience in an atmosphere which we both feel comfortable. my only problem is how it will afect our relationship, never getting away from work and of course uni. We have debts and this would seriously help us pay them off and save, not to mention saving so much on travel and the £400 a month rent we pay now. Its such a big decison, and one which id love some advice on. i am posting this as anon, because i dont want others who i work with to know yet. aand another thing i dont want people to think i am their boss and get resentful.

Its a decision to make together. Discuss it with your bf. If ur in debt then this would be then sensible option. Make sure you don't put yourself down any blind alleys because you missed oppertunities to use your History BA. Pub management should look good on ur CV (responsibilities, working independantly and as a team etc)

Again: make decision together. If you're in it for the long run you both have to be in it! :smile:
