In an attempt to make my site more interesting, I’ve decided to add a poll. This week’s poll has to do with my career options. I admit, I’m only working for the public service for the pay, pension, and benefits. Sometimes I feel a bit brain-dead sitting at my desk, I’ve gained weight since working there, and, dear god, I have to use a mouse on those computers.
There seems to be some options opening up for me. So here they are:
Option 1: I can apply for a position higher than where I am at now.
Pros: More pay!
Cons: Still sitting at the desk, have to go through a competition to get the job. Still computers with mice.
Option 2: I can focus my energy getting something I.T. related.
Pros: Technology is much more my speed over processing. I get to go back to school. Can still work in the government. Can sneak in web design.
Cons: Not working while in school. I’d have to find said I.T. job.
Option 3: Go back to freelancing. Photography, colouring comics, doing art stuff, websites, blogging and other things. Basically everything I love.
Pros: I can do whatever I want. Whenever I want. where ever I want in the world. Ultimate happiness!
Cons: Pay sucks and will suck more than ever because of how high the Canadian dollar has gotten. Back to the poor house and no dental plan.
Option 4: Other.
You tell me!

Based on what you wrote above, it reads as though you want Option 2 for now, which splits the difference between the two extremes. Not shackled to to a numbing desk gig, but not giving up everthing which can be good about working, either.
If I’m reading it wrong (very possible), then I can only cite “Malcolm’s Rule”, which states: “If you can’t decide what you want, then focus on deciding what you _don’t_ want. Whatever’s left over will be at least palatable.
Good luck,
