Try to make this as short as possible guys. I am 27 and live alone in my own house, live in a small town of about 40,000. I have a lot of close friends as I grew up here. I have travelled quite a bit in my life and love it. But my hiccup is this. I don't really care for my job that I have been doing for 6 years. It just bores the crap out of me and the weeks feel so long sometimes. The downside is there is not a lot of well paying jobs in my town.
One option, I could do is go away for work and it would be something like a 10 days and 10 days off type of thing, this would be good money, more then i make now, but just basically another job in a sense. It would be doing some labor type stuff and then maybe eventually getting into machine type work with bulldozers etc. The thing is its in middle of no where, so your there to work for 10 days and in Canada the winters a freaking cold or wet..
Now for the longest time I have always wanted to be a pilot and i have actually done some flight training a few years ago.. The thing is airline pay is quite low until a couple of years into the job. The training it self is quite a bit of money as well, which I do have a lot saved, but may new a small loan so I don't blow all my money. I would have to move away for flight training as there is now no school in my area.
My biggest thing is the fear of the unknown and moving away from my family and close friends. I have a good core of friends and it would suck to leave them and especially moving away from my family. On the other hand flying just seams like a dream to me, it doesn't feel like work and I love traveling..But i fear I might not make the friends i have now or other things, might not work out. I don't love my town i live in now, but I like the people around me. Im also wondering, if I'm I thinking all this because im lonely sometimes. All my friends have girlfriends and im really the only single one..
Any suggestions?
Sorry if this is in the wrong forum.
Cheers

Try living in a town of 1,000!
I grew up in a town of similar size (a little over a thousand) and I have a friend who considers Ames (60,000 not including ISU) a small town and I make sooo much fun of him for it.
