So, I would remind you... that a couple of months of living in your current situation should be looked at as "the easy part".... Find work that you WANT in a part of the country you want - then make the jump - keeping all the extra dough you saved up as a "reward" for the crappy time you spent.  |
That's part of what has kept me here this long. I've been patiently waiting for something to open up in Colorado with the company. Me being loyal etc and my bosses know this. I've been wanting to leave since the beginning of the year. Unfortunately, gas prices suck and the industry has fallen even worse there than here.
I've got ways to make money once I return to Georgia. I've got a few ideas for new parts for Corvettes and I'd really like to redesign the headers I created a number of years ago. While I'd be taking a monumental pay cut, I'd have money coming in to help. I'm honestly more worried about benefits and health insurance. Regardless, I understand what you're saying and that's been the number one thing keeping me here this long.
