I read in the Guardian, a year or so ago, about a sociologist who was doing research into indecision. His basic conclusion was that people these days had too many choices. I agree. How much easier if I had been apprenticed into carpentry at twelve - by now I would be making some pretty damn fine wardrobes. Instead I have the distraction of choosing between a job offer at my previous employment in London, or staying in the Czech Republic and seeing where the wind takes me. In a nutshell, it's guaranteed money and financial security versus chasing the dreams I've had since I was an ankle-biter. It's an easy decision in an ideal situation... but if the world was perfect, how bored would we be?
If Decisions Were Easy, Would Everyone Make Them?

Well as someone who once had to choose between continuing a safe but tedious job in radio broadcasting and sailing across the Pacific, I can honestly say I am now a firm believer in going for the wackiest decisions possible. They don't always end up being the most lucrative but, hell, they give you a sense of achievement that no one can ever take away. Go for the dreams I say......
Thanks for the support/advice Sue. At the moment I'm heavily leaning towards doing so - making the wacky-ish decision, that is. I've given myself to the end of the month before I publish my final decision to the concerned parties.
