Self-doubt & skepticism


Am I doing the right thing? Yes, I know I need to work but I'm about to pack up my few belonginings into two small boxes and head out to Vegas. VEGAS!!! To join an agency no-one has ever heard of. And why am I even considering it? Because I need to work.

I'll be honest, I'm scared shitless. Yes, I get itchy feet, and I move around too much. Americans view that in a not-so-nice light. They regard it as being 'disloyal'. Whatever, that's like blowing smoke up my ass. But back to the issue at hand. I could take the plunge and leave beautiful San Francisco. And land in semi-arid desert with affordable housing.

Decisions decisions.

The offer is a good one. So at least I'd be able to save. But I need to remember that from that position, I would have to move to another agency as a CD. Would they value my time with XXX in Vegas?

Okay, let's weigh up the pros & cons. San Francisco is a lot more beautiful, a lot more cultural and has more possibilities (you wouldn't think so though - no-one here is hiring at the moment). Vegas is dry, small, and there are fewer agencies. SF has world-class agencies. Vegas has one (sort of). Vegas would give me a chance to showcase my work and ability. Mind you, so would San Fran. There's a job offer in Vegas. There isn't one in SF.

Shit! I don't know. Any suggestions?
