Excellent career at home in highlands or move to Glasgow - 2 DAYS TO DECIDE
Hey in a bit of a bind and have no clue what I'm going to do, appreciate any thoughts.
I just turned 27, single, still stay at parents home. Stayed in the north of Scotland all my life, trained as an electrician ran my own business past 3 years. Sorta the same lifestyle day in and out, getting bored. Got fed up of the work and lifestyle and decided I was going to move to Glasgow for the experience, get into a new role as an electrician and see if I can get retrained, see friends down there, go on dates ect.. try for a year or two, see how it goes. More or less a fresh start. (I don't have a job lined up yet in the city yet).
However, typical, a job opportunity opened in the north for a very large firm, doing electrical work and also get training into mechanical also. The company has many opportunities for advancement, tons of perks, good pay after the first year training and would be a job for life. Went for the interview on Tuesday and safe to say it went extremely well to the point I'm almost 100% sure I'll get the call back on Friday asking if I want it.
The issue is that its the perfect job in the wrong place. I felt stuck here at home, life doesn't feel like its moving. Doing the same things every weekend. So the Idea was to move and try living a little. Could go pair shaped down the road in the city and i'd end up having to come home and miss out on the decent job.
My family think the risk is not worth it, id be able to get my own place, not get stuck renting. bit of security, can always visit down there whenever I want. My friends here at home and in the city, others in the bar think its now or never, that's its a great idea to get out there and expand and experience it. Try to enjoy life more.
TL;DR Do I go with the excellent Career and put up with the north, or do I take the chance while I can and move to the Glasgow? Go with security or adventure.
