Answer 6

I say follow your heart. I mean, if all possibilities are hard to chose, its always one that sticks out the most. Pick the one that isn't too bad and just wait and see what happens. Whats the worst that could happen?

Answer 7

If both are equally bad, pick the one you want to do more.

Answer 8

flip a coin. if they were = bad the outcome would not matter. however make sure they are indeed = bad. It is uncommon that both paths will give you the same negative result. think about your problem more.

Answer 9

Nothing is truly black and white, and unless you are on a TV show, in any situation there is never a predetermined number of options to chose from.

You have to find an option that is neither of the ones you have envisioned before, and that is not bad.
