Recently I was offered a position of an increase in base pay of about $17,000 a year. With the overtime people in this position get, it would be in the neighborhood of about $25,000 to $28,000 a year.
You make $7000 - $11000 a year? That's below minimum wage? How do you live?

I only ask because an increase of that amount is considerable, more than doubling your current salary. If it were less, I'd advise staying where you're at. But considering the amount, maybe you can get the best of both worlds. Can you talk to your boss(es) and explain just how important your son is, and that you'll only accept the job if they can make allowances for you to leave to see him?
