What would you do in my situation? |
I'm just shy of 28 years old and I'm considering giving up my career (currently working in Germany and making over $100K a year) to move back to my small town in Kansas to be with my family. My stepfather has brain cancer and the doctors only gave him a year to live. I'm considering moving back which will more than likely end my career in communications as there aren't really any jobs back home, but my family is VERY important to me. I'm going to go ahead and move back and figure something out, but I just want to know what you would do in my situation. Get a job that involves commuting to a larger area city (try within an hour of your home) after the move. You can start looking now. If you're making six figures, you must have an impressive resume, and I'm sure that employers will be banging down your door. Good luck, and God bless. I would definitely go back to Kansas if I were you. Family is way more important than money. you only have one dad you will cherish this time more than any job at any price will ever do, you can always get a job , if you are a hard worker anyone will be happy to have you on their team, believe me. of course... family will ALWAYS come first, no matter how good or solid my career is, at the drop of a pin i'd move interstate to assist family. especially in your situation.. I would go for the $100K a year. In your situation, I would stay in Germany. I understand that family is important. But you're making really good money in Germany, and you still don't have a stable job in the states, which is very dangerous. Especially if you're reliable for your father-in-law's medical bills. I suggest this: Go to the states to visit AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE. As you're doing that, while visiting family, look for a job where you would potentially be earning that much money yearly. I hope this helps! If it doens't, then it's understandable because I'm only 13! well if i did love my stepfather, i would definitely move back to be with him. life is more important than money to me. i'm sure you haven't lost all hope of finding at least a similar job...you can go back to germany after a while. but yeah, it would only feel right to go be with my family. |
