A Dilemma: Take it, or Leave it?

Dear Mary, David, and all forum friends,

You may find this ID brand new but I've actually been in this column for years.

:P

I have been living a peaceful life with my family (some may rather call it mundane, whatever,) in a small town since I left school for good. Sometimes I wonder

if I would spend the rest of my life in such a small pool without even being a

big fish, and dream fondly of quitting my hometwon for some bigger place some more promising cause. Time has lapsed without much change for nearly fifteen years and the dream has somehow abated little by little, and I am almost ready to resign to this style of life.

Surprises seldom knock, but once in a while. The peace of my life broke when I

was offered a position in a company's branch office in a metropolitan city, where quite some people struggle to find a job in, the other day. The company sells

products that I like best and am most familiar with, and that literally I am almost something of an expert in this area though my current job doesn not have anything to do with them. I am always a good learner in things that really appeal

to me, you know. The wages offered are higher than what my current unit offers

. Actually my current unit has long been in poor economic situation and is not

at all looking up. These all imply that the job fits me very well. There can be no doubt that it's a once in a lifetime opportunity, which I've been craving for a long time to use and extend my talents, to be exact.

Things looking fine may virtually be not, though. I certainly am aware of what

it takes to start from scratch in a metropolis, which is absolutely thoroughly new to me, with neither friends nor relatives there. Accepting the offer means I

am going to have to "cut and run" from my local connections. I can at best be with my family twice (or maybe three times) a month. The notion that my little girl would be crying for her Dad's company makes me cringe. What about my honey

then, who runs a store selling shoes in another town? I am a traditional man and family is almost always uppermost in my mind. I am giving up my "working age"

for nothing, on the other hand. Can I afford all these sacrifices? Do I have

to become an urbanized, always-on-the-go person? Can I get used to the hustle and bustle of the city life?

Sounds like I am in a predicament. Big a decision as it may be, I think I just

have to make it.

I am all ears for (or "to", David? Thank you.) your expertise. Thank you.

Sincerely yours,

Napmai.
