It seems like every decision we make results in trade-offs in a different area. I have seen this strongly in my continued search for a job here in Florida. I had a great career back in Madison with TDS. I was making a lot of money, especially for someone my age. I had a lot of potential within that company and was probably destined to go pretty far. I had a lot of great friends and I was having a lot of fun. But yet I was still very unhappy.
I traded everything I had there for happiness on a different level. Not working...actually, not being hired...is really starting to take its toll on my mental state and I can't help but question whether or not I made the right decision. Yeah, I did. Money and career success will only get you so far. After it's all over, what do you really have to show for it? A nice car and a nice house? It doesn't mean much if you don't have someone to enjoy it with. Loneliness is a powerful beast that can make everything else null and void.
I will keep applying for every job that sounds moderately appealing. I will get hired one of these days. I just have to keep reminding myself of what's really important :)
