Lest see if I can explain this so that it is easy to understand.

About 6 months ago, I moved from Lafayette LA to Baton Rouge LA. Kinda funny that I moved here right after Huricane Katrina, and right before Huricane Rita. I had multiple reasone for movine to Baton rouge, one was to find more work in animation and video editing, which is what I went to school for. The other is that Baton Rouge was just suposed to be one of many moves I would be making around the country.

Like I've said, Ive been here for about 6 months. I curently find myself in a rather strange perdicement. I curently have two job leads. One of which is here in BR, and I would be doing animation work, which is what I want to do. Down side is that I havn't heard back from them yet, But this being Easter, I honestly don't expect to here from them before Monday. The other Job offer is for a video editor, something else I want to do, but not exactly what I went to school for. Not to mention, it is back in Lafayette (wasn't really planning on going back ther, wanted to move forward, not backward). If gas prices were not what they are, I wouldn't have a problem driving to and from Lafayette everyday. The upside, is that the job pays up to $35 an hour.

Add to all this, the fact that there is this really cute girl here in Baton Rouge that I really like, and really want to be with.

Any thoughts or suggestions? questions?

I think there's room for one more to chime in ;).

Definetly follow what you like. The rewards will come.

I messed around for a couple of years post high school, in both a course and jobs I didn't like. It was good for a reality check though - i'm now earning much more casually whilst at uni full time, than I ever did full time in other jobs - with very good future prospects. Not bad for a career path I initially avoided for fear of supposed lack of stability, etc etc. If the passion is there, the good stuff follows.

Go option A ;)

If for nothing else, the lack of travelling. I'm very much looking forward to picking up my own place, closer to clients.
