Alright, I'm going to pose a question to you all that is, frankly, devouring my soul at present. The question is, of course, un-answerable with no absolute right or wrong answers. Ultimately I will either have to answer this question, or allow fate to answer it for me.
My question is thus: Should I stay in Europe and find a job or return to America?
I have been living in Europe for the past 2 years and have made a lot of great friends. Thinking about leaving all these great people and the experiences I've had far behind in the great forgotten land of Europe honestly breaks my heart.
On the other hand, there are people and many other aspects of america that I also miss. Plus the more difficult aspect that I have very little time to get a job now (I have to focus on finishing my thesis, not finding jobs right now, or I won't even graduate) and the only realistic place where I can work in my field is in the UK, but if it's between England and the US, I choose the US. Also, if I were to apply to english companies now, it would cost a ton to fly back to go to an interview, and I would have to sacrifice precious time in France with Morgane that I won't get back no matter which decision I make.
So it all boils down to this...Should I try to stay in europe or just enjoy the rest of my time, return to the US (at one of the single worst times to be job hunting) and vow to return to Europe not knowing if I'm just kidding myself.
I'm lost.
