After coming back from Korea for "work" yesterday, I realize that there lies a big fork road in my life that will be coming up in the near future that I need to carefully and prayerfully decide.
All thanks to God, I was able to get a job pretty quick after my move to NJ. The boss seems like a fair man and the job itself is not that bad with a good pay. The company itself has a huge potential to grow and even the people that I met in Korea for "work" reinforced me the idea that if I stay in this field of business that I will be able to make a large amount of money.
With this lies Road #1 - Good money with stable job at a good company with good people. Safe to say that financially my future will be secure if I do well in my part in this new job (Although nothing is guaranteed, with and educated guess, this is a safe bet). One con to this job is that I will be basically settling down in the East Coast. The possibility of myself going back to Southern California will be greatly diminished.
Road #2 - Peace Corps. I applied to Peace Corps January of 2010 and I will, if nothing changes, will have the opportunity to serve over 2 years in Eastern Europe. I can learn a new language as well as having a rare opportunity to assimilate myself into a brand new culture for 2 years. I will be able to help and support a community in the area and also grow and learn for myself in the area that I have actually studied in college and possibly opening up new and different areas after I come back.
So this is the two road that my life can take. To simply put, #1 is security and #2 is adventure.
After asking many people of what they think, it seems road #2 had a bit more appeal. Nonetheless there were still a good amount of people that said road #1 is a good if not better one as well.
Although this is somewhat a emotional struggle that does give me a good amount of stress, I am thankful that I am at a situation where I am blessed with two different awesome and wonderful roads. I hope and pray that whatever I will decide will be a good one that I will not regret and can give 100% of myself.
I am not in front of that fork road yet, but I feel I am seeing that fork road at a distance and walking closer and closer everyday until the time that I need to decide which way to go.
What will I do?
Only time will tell...
