Even if you take the guaranteed pernmanent position at almost half the money, are there really any guarantees that you won't be laid off in a year or two? Hard to bemeive they can make that guarantee.......
Ive thought of this and I will say that its pretty difficult to be laid off of a state agaency here in Texas. Although the economy is still pretty bad with 9%+ unemployment. Ive been doing this temp job for 2 years now and im use to the commute, but do have a our first child on the way in March 2012 so i know it will be killing me then to want to be closer.

More than likely I will take the 12K increase offer. however, I have the interview with the other agency today.
