Ok I'm living at home for right now still @24
but hopefully not much longer.
Out here I can cover 1k+ acres just on my 4wheeler to hunt hogs, shoot, ride, go to river + creeks etc. I've lived here my whole life. I work in Houston and commute in. I want to transfer to a new position and I have the job except that now they're requiring I live within 30 miles of work. I'm not excited about that idea but I could pull it off and only be 20-30min away from "home" but I'd be closer to Houston which I despise (traffic, idiots, etc.) I'd be looking at the Waller area.
I have a offer on the table for the same position to work at a branch store in Bryan/CS, 60mi away, still would need to move within 30mi, would prefer S side. I'm sure the work environment would be easier/happier than Houston. I like going to CS to party every once in a while, brother and cousin currently at A&M along with a few acquaintences/firiends in the area.
Really with either scenario I'd be loosing out on everything I grew up with and the ability to hop on the 4 wheeler and go hog hunting after work in the evening or morning, go down to the pond and shoot whenever, etc. I do like catching some live music and wimenz up in CS though.
I fear I'd end up bored out of my mind living in town up there though. I'd be buying a house as well unless I could find a decent one to rent. NO apartments. I'd be needing parking space for my truck and company truck(F-450 and Dodge dually.)
I had intended to buy a house that's coming on the market soon a few miles down the road that's surrounded by the corn fields I hunt often. If i do that then I'm stuck in the shop in Houston or Bryan.
I just don't know what to do right now and am looking for insight from those who have made the change. Was it worth it? Regrets?
