Up in the Air, so to speak..

So last night I got to watch "Up in the Air" with George Clooney. The movie happened to relate directly to the current career questions I have and didn't leave any room to suggest that one choice was better then the other, in fact it basically said you were screwed either way you went..Wooow now isn't that something great to swallow, lol. The movie basically laid it out as such:

Option 1 - Take the high road and live out of a suitcase for a job and you will basically become a parenthesis in someone's life and end up alone and depressed (my vision is me, at 60 living in a one bedroom apartment surrounded by cats :s)

Option 2 - Choose to have one main address and create a balance in your life, you know choose being a grown up, over the 16 year old who wants to be in a different city every week. With this option it still doesn't matter, because life happens and when that happens well the good people get socked...

It left me wondering what I always have, do you have always have to choose? The past 4-5 years for me have handed me a lot of bumps in my road and with each obstacle I felt like i had to give up everything and just focus on that one hurdle. Once those hurdles were conquered it was as though life was on the other side and I could enjoy. But while I handled each obstacle as such the whole way through I saw and met people that seemed to have it all along the way and didn't have to give anything up. They all had the amazing family and friends, the loving and supportive bf/gf and the career stuff. So i wondered why couldn't I have it all as well?? I mean why do some people get it soo easy and others have to continuously compromise?

The way I see it is that at some point I plan on trading in my designer workbag for a designer diaper bag, so if I want to live by the seat of my pants for the next few years, doesn't the compromises I have chosen to make later, warrant me to have the chance to climb the corporate ladder now and have the complete support system along with it?

I dunno, its just one of the biggest things I have been thinking about as I debate my career switch...thoughts?!?! Anyooooone?!?!!? lol

Anywhoo, thats all for now..tilll the next random thought arises
