The job would allow me to do what I do while being much more open about who I am, but the money is significantly less than I currently make and I got 3 in college. I need a major NUDGE from the almighty if this is what he wants me to do.
If you can live on the less money. . . what would this new career do for your spirit? What does your current career do for your spirit?

I say go where the spiritual growth is most likely stronger. Especially if you can meet necessary expenses with the pay cut. There all kinds of ways of making money. Not as many ways of strengthening the spirit.

Obviously you are going to tap into your own prayers on this. Follow your intuition. Sometimes something looks on the surface like exactly what we're looking for and need, but even though it fits the surface description, it is STILL the wrong path. If you receive a "no" message, follow it. If, on the other hand you receive a "yes" message, follow that.
