Isn't it ironic?

Last week I finally reached my goal; I received a job offer with the Virginia College Savings Plan.  I was so excited and am still slightly on cloud 9.  Wouldn't you know, that the day after I verbally accepted their job offer, I received an email from the SCC, State Corporation Commission asking me to come in and interview for the Public Utilities Accountant position?!   Now logic would say, no way, just turn it down.  However, I asked about the compensation and found out that the pay is actually slightly higher AND they are offering full benefits immedietly.  Therefore, I have decided to go ahead and interview with them the week after next once I have already left my current position, but have not yet started work at the VCSP.  I almost hope that I do not get this position, because I do not want to choose.  The good thing though, is that I have a very strong feeling that even if I am offered the job with the SCC I will still feel confident that the job with the VCSP is a better fit for me.  The job with the VCSP, they are going to let me do a lot of work with accounting fraud investigation.  My dream is to work with white-collar crime investigations with the accounting field, such as embezzlement and money laundering.  My initial dream job in the field was a forensic accountant with the FBI, but now that I have gotten older, I am thinking that I may be better off in public accounting than in the private sector.  However, this job may open the FBI door wide open since it is a government job itself in the same area.

We shall see.
