Would it make sense to take up PGDE offer and go into teaching full time?

Would you wait out for a better job for the sake of possible higher salary? Or take an ok paying job, good job benefits that is ready for you to start?

Would you choose a high stress job for higher pay and better benefits or lower stress job for decent pay?

At career crossroad, how would you choose between peaceful stable job vs new job with learning opportunity but unstable?
