The fun thing about the job market is the temptation to do something rash. I’ve had some interesting offers that would boggle the mind. The best one to date was to take a 12 month contract where I would be spending approximately 10 of those months on the 7th continent at the NOAH weather station. Hmmmm, sounds a bit too much like my last marriage, but that’s a different story.

Anyway, this afternoon I got one of those calls from a former employment candidate that have suddenly regained interest. Actually, it just took forever for them to get through the process so now it might just happen. Wow, moving to a different state, new friends, etc, etc is a bit scary but when I consider what I’ve got around this city, it sure couldn’t get any worse, in fact there are a number of benefits that would be helpful in the long run.

And if that were not interesting enough, another lead wants me to come visit them to interview. They are further North (brrrrrr) but are offering nearly twice the salary and a bonus structure that is 25% of the salary. That’s nearly enough money to be scary.

So, what to do, what to do …. I’m thinking it might be time to break out the old dart board; it would be easier!

I think you have to look at the whole thing.. not just the job.

Where will you live?

what will it cost to live there?

what commitments do you have where you are?

Which job will you enjoy doing more ?
Your happiness is even more important than the money.
Even if you move to a colder climate, it doesn't have to be permanent
and it can lead to future jobs in better climates, that will be more towards
the path of personal growth & fulfillment.
Go get 'em Al !

That's a very exciting dilemma to be facing! Hard to believe you could feel positive about leaving NE Ohio :-)

In my life some of the best and most interesting times have been those when I have ventured beyond my normal environment. Big changes are almost always better than small changes. Go for it Alvin! And best of luck to you.

If there are local newspapers/classifieds online, subscribe and read. Journeys into the unknown are nicer without avoidable surprises. I think Chesterton said

An Inconvenience is an Adventure considered wrong;
an Adventure is an Inconvenience considered right.
