ReplySnake’s Career 2018-2019
Hi,
I'm a snake born in 1989. I have a opportunity to start a new job now that pays more, but I have to sacrifice my stable job that pays less. I'm really afraid of the outcome in 2019, because I know it's a bad year for a snake. What should I do? Should I give away this opportunity and hold on my stable job?
