Well I have been throwing out alot of job applications lately, just trying to find a better job. Im really happy with what i do now but money talks. Well I got a offer that im going to go check out next week. The pay is double what i make now.I would have to move to West palm beach Florida. I still live at home but have the funds necessary to move out and be on my own. I paid all my debt off to buy a new car here in a few days but I would have to put that on hold. I have an uncle that lives down there. He said I could stay with him till i get on my feet and find a place. I cant decided if i want to get up and leave all my friends but Florida and working a mile from the beach is very tempting. Id like to hear some people thoughts

How old are ya?
You made friends here right?
Why couldn’t you make new friends there?
And if your friends here are true friends you will still stay in touch, so it isn’t like your really losing anything, right?
