Okay, I get the play on Joe Offer's name, but I thought this thread was going to be about people turning down legitimate offers of employment.

I recently was asked to apply for an executive position job
[by someone who theorectically could have made sure I'd get the job].

But that job would have been all wrong for me. I thought about it, and prayed over it, and-to paraphrase a once overused folk saying-
'I just said no'.

I knew that if I had taken that job, I would have ended up drained and crazy. So I don't regret it at all.


Here's another New African proverb that speaks to this:

"[If you have a choice]It's better to struggle financially doing what you love than to spend your life energies working a job that doesn't suit you."
