Opportunities

A couple of days ago I was presented with a job opportunity. I have a chance to get a job as a Journeyman Electrician for a company in Edmonton. I must say that I have mixed feelings about this. It is something that I want, to work in my chosen field. It would give me the chance to get the required experience necessary to acquire my master ticket. This would take my career to the next level.

I have been putting a great deal of thought towards this lately. I'm not sure if I am ready to make any changes. My electrical career is not the only aspect of my life. It is not always about money either. I am in a good position right now. I have a steady job in Stony Plain, this means no commute into Edmonton. It means I am closer to the Kwoon, the hours I work allow me to spend more time training and give me the ability to instruct as well. This is what I consider my primary goal at this time.

The other major consideration about this is if I accept that job and it doesn't work out for some reason, I might not get this position back and I will be forced to start from square one again. It is not that I am afraid to take a chance, but this is just not the right time. I will get another chance in the future I'm sure, perhaps the circumstances will be favorable for such a change.
