I have some options but don’t know what to choose
I am a 22 year old guy in rural Illinois who has been working as an HVAC Technician since 2022. Last August marked the end of a 4.5 year relationship for me and since then I’ve been thinking a lot about what I want to do with my own life versus trying to build one with that person. I applied to colleges and was accepted to NIU, SIU Carbondale, and Illinois State University. if I choose college I’m really unsure of what major to pick to get me a job that pays well and is interesting to me. I paid my enrollment deposit to ISU and it is an option but I graduated high school in 2021 and am nervous to quit my full time job where I’m making decent money to be a full time college student. I have an opportunity to become the only lead tech at my company because our current one is leaving in about a week to start his own company where I also have an opportunity to join and work with him down the road. However I had an old coworker reach out to me this weekend who moved to San Diego to work for a commercial HVAC company and told me he is best friends with the hiring manager, and can guarantee me a $45 an hour position as soon as tomorrow if I want it. This job in San Diego checks a lot of boxes for me, especially the change of scenery coming from a small town surrounded by corn fields. I have never lived on my own just yet so the thought of moving out does make me a little nervous but whether I go to college or take this job in San Diego I’d be getting an apartment either way, and even if I don’t go with either one of those options I have to of course move out on my own at some point. I’m not sure what option to really choose here, I’m very indecisive.
