Pros & Cons of Staying At My Job

Created by slatifi on 04/02/2010

I moved to N.C. for my first post-grad job. Some days it's good, some days it feels unbearable. I only moved here for this job, and my friends/family are places elsewhere. I have had trouble meeting people I like and overall, I know I don't want to live in North Carolina for the rest of my life. But do I leave a somewhat secure position now because it makes me unhappy?

Pro
