Change can be a good thing. Got big plans?

We're at a real crossroads. I have a great job offer in hand from a company in NE Pennsylvania. It's a high pressure: high reward sort of position with a great company.

On the other end of the spectrum is a move to San Antonio to be with my wife's family. We're kind of isolated up here in MN from our families. We miss growing up with our parents, siblings and-for the first time-our new nieces and nephews. My wife would be the only one working if we ventured down that path. Doable, but risky financially.

So-a dream job or family? I'm sure no one else has ever made this decision before. I'm the first in the epic history of mankind, I'm sure. It's just a very, very difficult decision.

It's wonderful that we have a choice. But we've never been in that position before. We've moved around because that's where the jobs were. We don't have to do that anymore. And frankly, it's scary.

ETA: I'm all ears if one of you lot has some sage advice...

San Antonio. I visit that area for my customers on business often.

Duh..don't make this so hard on yourself...and you're just a short drive away from watching your superhero Romo choke in person... [&o]

We're leaning (San Antonio) that way, Jeff.

By the way, you owe me a case of beer, dude. Pay up! [:'(]

Hoping MK2 is right side up today.

I'm almost thinking this is a classic case of `Like father; like son'.[;)]

[:'(]

Thanks for the well wishes guys, Mk2 was successfully (eventually) turned right way up. Mrs Dixie is staying at her parents' place tonight as it's left her a bit sore but it alles gut other than that. To be honest, I was so much trouble they chopped me out, so clearly (according to everyone else) this is my fault as well.

The off-road stuff was brill. Plunging around steep hills and through some big puddles is fun enough, it's even better in the dark though. I might have taken a few hills quicker than was ideal though.... I also left the other two vehicles in the distance on the roads back home, despite the fog and darkness we were up to top speed and stayed there [:D]

Wish that I did. You have to choose your own path. I assume that San Antonio would be decent for your line of work, even if you changed specialty a bit??

Maybe one bit of advice: That company might seem great, but here are no great companies, only great people. The 'other kind' always get in charge eventually. Keep your powder dry.
