Well I never saw this coming. My plan has always been to find a job, live at home and save up money, then get transferred or move somewhere and find a new job. (There are other parts to the plan, but that's neither here nor there) But now...oh man.
I had an interview for a sales position at the John Deere dealership in Belle Plain on Wednesday. The guy that interviewed me was super friendly and the job has a lot of potential. The only problem is, it's an hour and a half from Zumbrota. He said that any commute over 30 minutes each way was unacceptable, hence my predicament. Move to Belle Plain (or some far southern suburb) and start a job that could be a career, or stick it out here and hope something closer pops up?
I know I'm going to have to move out eventually. And I know that in the broad scope of the world, this isn't a very far move. But dang it I'm scared. I've never lived on my own, but that's my own fault for using campus housing. I don't know what to look for in an apartment, in a neighborhood, in a city. Maybe if this job would provide housing, I wouldn't be so hesitant. Then if I wind up somewhere crappy, it's not my fault and I'll have someone to complain to.
I don't think I'm worried about meeting people. 1. I'd be a salesman so I would meet a lot of people. 2. I'd be moving closer to the cities and the friends I already have. This is just the problem I have with being a big picture thinker. Because I can't wrap my mind around what's going to happen, I want to stay in my comfort zone. I told the guy I needed to do some soul searching, so that's what I'll be doing for the next little while. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
