There is a job I would LOVE going to be advertised soon. It is in a midwifery led practice recently commenced in my area. This is huge as my work place has always been medical based. I really really want to apply and these opportunities don't come up very often. Its a highly sort after job and I imagine once they have filled this final position its unlikely to be advertised again unless only for maternity relief although there is only one employee of child bearing age.

Now the problem is its 50kms from my home which isn't a huge thing as I work that was 1-2days a week anyway (but not 4) it still add's a good 1.5hours a work day in travel time. We may sell up and move closer to town so maybe this wont be an issue in a year or two anyway.

The other problem is the hours are flexible depending if one of the women you are caring for goes into labour. It also means I have to do 4 days a week at minimum and I currently only do 3 which DH is not happy about. The money is quiet good. Around $1600 before tax a week.

I really want to apply for it when its advertised but I know DH will be very unhappy if I got the job. What would others do? Not apply because your DH wouldn't want you to do it?
