Well, here's the deal. I got offered a job down in West Palm Beach from Fl Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission to do herp stuff and some other fun things. This job offer came in on Thursday, and the pay is for $12.50/hour ($26,000/yr). Friday afternoon comes along and I was supposed to here from Virginia Tech about another job offer for Eglin Air Force Base up in the panhandle, the Crestview, Niceville area. Well, someone finally called and made me an offer of ~$11.50/hr ($24,000/yr plus benefits). Shit, I hate choices. I had already made up my mind that I was gonna go down to West Palm Beach, pay a ton of money to live down there, and take that job. The only thing about the West Palm Beach job is that I don't know if I can afford to live down there on the money I'll be making. Then the Eglin Air Force Base job is mainly just doing Red Cockaded Woodpecks (I don't really like birds, but I don't hate them). I just think that I will not be happy if I go to Eglin, cause I'm not gonna like my work, not going to have any friends, and it's further away from my parents house than West Palm Beach. But the Eglin Air Force Base job offers me benefits with health care and dental, how can someone turn that down? I wish that only one made me an offer, then I would have to take it, cause there would be no choices. But then I think how cool would it be to live in West Palm Beach, but I still don't know anyone down there either. All of this on top of me trying to talk with professors for grad school, there is just to much going on. I feel like I'm suffocating and I can't breathe.........there's just so much that's happened in such a short time............
