I need, and want your opinion on this one. I couldn't have a bigger decision to make in my life right now. As some may know, I manage Boston Market. Boston Market for those not familiar, is a homestyle resturaunt. One of my great, and closest friends is the general manager of Boston Market. Later this year he is going to florida to take over some stores that are not doing so well. He has offered me to go with him, and move up in the company also. I'm already fast-tracking my career in Boston Market. There is a good chance that I can become a general manager by August of this year. Thing is, the job is in Florida. How cool would that be? Being 24 and a general manager.

     For alot of people this kind of decision is a no brainer. What I havn't mentioned, and what alot of you already know is I have a two year old son. Bingo! That's why this decision is so hard for me. I love Acen so much. I can't stand to be away from him. Not even for a day. I recently called my father to ask him some questions. See my father moved out of state early in my life, which meant he moved away from me. He did this to better his career also. I can honestly say it paid off for him. Not that it didn't come with a price to pay. We have always been close, and I'm thinking if he didn't move away that today we wouldn't be as close as we are. I asked him, "If you loved me so much, how could you go so long without seeing me?" He said, "Son, It was the hardest on me. The only way I could go on was to distance myself from you. In which I mean, fill my days with other things just to try to keep my mind off you. Yes, when I did think about you, or happen to look at your picture I would cry. I wasn't trying to forget about you, only forget about the pain." Those are the words of my father, who has been exactly where I am in my life today.

     So here's my question to you. How would you go about making this decision? Does anyone have any first hand experience? Anything at all will help.
