We all have dreams/goals that keep us alive (and many Xroads to get there)
but when those dreames are scacrificed too many times life can become hard and so can the person

To be who you are...hold onto your dreams....live them!

Essentally, self-development is an individual task (and well supported)
when individual paths meet again, there are always warm greetings

Dude...hopefully the important person says 'go for it'. However...it's ONLY Tauranga to Wellington. Come down, give it a year or so (it takes a while to get settled into a new place) and then see how you feel. If you're not happy - move back up north.

Change is scary, but it's the only thing that leads to personal growth. And you'll be redefining who you think you are...which is always a good thing (in my opinion anyway). Friends who are important will remain good friends despite distance, friends who aren't (but you don't know it yet) will fall off the radar - leaving you open to new things/experiences.

I'd say do it, but then, with a relocation coming up soon myself, I would!!

AJ, if it were me, I would go.

Was working in a job that was going nowhere then upper management decided to "micromanage" us. I had no other job to go to but I tendered my resignation anyway, trusting that things would work out.

It sounds like you would enjoy the job on offer and it would be good for you in many ways. Ask that important person if they would join you. Think on it and make up your mind - but as others have said, trying is better than wondering "what if" and regretting not having taken the opportunity in years to come.

All the best.

... and?
What happened next? Don't leave us in suspenders. I like a good story.

Plus I'm in/at a real crisis myself. I know I should resign from my job, because it's fookin up my health (well, it's already fookd), but I've got a bank and some debts to support, and few prospects of any other work. PLus I dunno what to do next - I've changed careers several times, and each time I've gone backwards.

[scumdog]

i need a drink..
This thought has been going through my mind all day .. from before I got up this morning.


The pay is good…. Really FUCKIN good….

White trash is not there any more..

It is doing something that I have trained for and know that I would enjoy.

White trash has left.

There is a bucket racing track there

White trash has left

I'll be able to pop in and see stonechucker


Do I cut my loses and start a new… (it will be a great loss)

I also have a great friend here who races dogs also .. saying good buy to them will be hard to…..

WHY IS IT SO HARD THIS TIME TO MAKE THE MOVE????

I'm still young (at heart)

And I know opportunities like this do not come along often in life….

I know in my heart that I will be going…


When do I start packing? Do I just get someone in to do it for me…………


Rant over

So I take it you're not joining the police then??

If the significant other is truly significant, and said person does not want to go and will not move with you, then I don't envy you at all. If your relationship is very strong, and significant other won't go, then ask yourself which you would regret losing more. Been in a similar situation myself. Went to a job that I should have been brilliant at, but I pretty much fell apart at the seams and couldn't handle the job. I should have been very happy where I was, but because 'she' wasn't with me, it just didn't work. Ended up resigning and moving back to Chch.

BUT

At the moment I'm taking some fairly big risks, starting a business for the first time, which I will initially run while holding down a job for financial security. Which would be great.... except I may also be going to a new job, or even more risky, doing what I do now on a contract basis, totaly self employed. 'She' (same one), is behind me 100%. And I have to say, I have not felt this good, this alive, in YEARS. So, if significant other WILL go, then for fecks sake DO IT!

... and?
What happened next? Don't leave us in suspenders. I like a good story.

Well, I looked at buying a bookstore from a friend of mine who was selling up to live the Gypsy life but decided I wouldn't be able to survive on that after paying my rent so I started up my own computer service business, tried self-employment for long enough to discover it wasn't for me, then applied for and got a job at another Tertiary Education provider and started on more money than I was on after nearly 15 years at the last place.

And that's where I am today - until such time as I find something better, decide it's gone to the dogs too much to bear any more, win Lotto or get sacked for spending too much time on KB...

[bkrwench]

[Eurygnomes]

Tee hee. First read this and thought, "bloody hell...it'd be a damned hard ride to Tauranga at the end of the day..."
