Ok, so I have a job lead in a state far away from where I currently live for a position with a Flight School in an amazing town, at an amazing airport. However, my girlfriend has another year of school remaining. We are in a very serious relationship, and I'm very certain we will probably get hitched after she is done and we start getting enough money to support ourselves.
Am I dumb to pass up the job to try and stay in a town with a lack of pilot jobs to move halfway across the country to the east coast for a job, leaving my girlfriend behind? We would hardly see each other at all, and I feel like that time apart will be a huge strain on our relationship. Also, since this right now is such a stressful time for her, I really want to be here for her.
Am I a moron for thinking this way? Should I just take the job and hope for the best? I talked to my friends about it, and they keep saying "just take the job, you want to be a pilot." But a lot don't understand about the relationship factor. I just think it would be good to get some input from some pilots here who might have more life experience.
Thanks in advance...
