Confused

Ok, as the title of this post says, I am confused. Scott and I decided, when we were in the planning stages of our trip, that we would do pub work. It was going to be a great start to our working holiday - we would get to work together, live together, and get paid. It's not that I am having second thoughts, I really want to do the pub work, as I think it sounds like fun. I am just worried about future stuff. I want to get a museum job over there, and I am worried that if I get an offer that is too good to pass up, then what'll happen to the pub work? I think we will still apply and see how it all goes. I may get rejected here anyway, or they may not find us a placement. Who knows.

Also having issues with money, and bank account details. It's all so confusing. It's just that I want to be able to spend my earnings on stuff for my family, without expecting Scott to pay. I don't even know if that makes any sense, but I want to be able to be independent, pay my own way while we are there.
