If I were you, I would take a moment, a step back, and really consider this. Believe me, your family will be there. If you need to, talk honestly with your potential employer and explain your concerns about being far from home. However, realize also that if this is an opportunity that you feel could really help you, don't discount it due to insecurity. I don't want you to decide in five minutes, but I know how it feels.
I'm still waiting to wake up and be back home in Indiana with Sean back at his parents' house and myself at my mom's. It's a big, scary world, and it rocks. Just go with your heart.
Oh love, I wish I could tell you what to do (but we both know you wouldn't listen anyway :-p)
It sounds like a great job. Being away from everyone totally would suck. You're right. But having a job you love and doing what you love would be far more awesome. Your family (and your awesome friends) want you to succeed more than you know.
I'm with Katharine. Take a look around and take a deep breath. I know you aren't afraid to take a risk that could pay off in amazing ways.
Well my darling love that I miss so very much, based on my experience with your family, the Home that you long for will always be there for you. Your parents will always support you, and they will be there for you, even if they aren't right beside you. I know that you are homesick, and being away from home blows--but this job sounds like it could really get you jumpstarted in a career. It sounds like it's something that you would love. It would be something new and exciting--and opportunities like that don't come without a little risk or a few unknowns. I cringed when I read that the job was in PA, knowing your prior experience, but don't discount this opportunity based on that one. (And like you said, think of how great the Woods was

im not usually one to give a lot of advice, because i figure people will listen as much to what i tell them as little as i listen to advice given to me. i have always held the creedo that the minute i start making decisions based on other people is when i lose control of my own life. sometimes that has come back to bite me in the ass, but i really dont regret any decision that i have made. sure, i have missed some opportunities, and i have made bad decisions, but theres no way you can grow without learning through those mistakes. you just have to sit down with yourself and ask "what do i want more?" its what i do. i always go by the first thing that comes to mind, and i havent really regretted any of it. i think you already kinda know what you want in the back of your mind, but are too afraid to act on it. the way i see it, there really cant be a negative side to any decision you make, but ultimately you have to decide what is best for you, not anyone else. so thats my 2 cents
