Question

I live in north Florida, been with my girlfriend for the past year, Im 25, she is 21, and just got a conditional job offer with a Police Dept in North Georgia, 7 hours away. She's in the process of finishing community college and wants to pursue that instead of moving. I might not get another chance at a job offer like this and don't want to hold her back. What do you all think??

Answer 1

I think you should take the job offer in North Georgia and pursue your career.  You are still young and have your whole life ahead of you. The old cleche still stands, if this realtionship is meant to be, it will all work out in that aspect.  Best of luck to you!  

Answer 2

Dump her-

Answer 3

You two are young and can still pursue your careers while maintaining your relationship. Community college programs last for about 2 years.  Perhaps, you two can have a long distance relationship for a little while.  Then when your girlfriend finishes school, the two of you can figure out how to live closer to each other.

But to answer your question, take the job. We're experiencing a tough economy now and people can't affort to turn down good jobs. Best wishes.  

Answer 4

If you truly want to be a police officer, take the job and move. If she loves you, she will continue the relationship while she finishes school, then she will move to be with you.

If she demands that you choose between the job and her, then you have a hard choice to make. Don't base your choice on what a bunch of strangers tell you on YA. Do what your heart tells you is right.

Good luck in your police career.

Answer 5

I hate to say it, but community colleges are a dime a dozen, she can pursue her degree anywhere so you wouldn't exactly be holding her back.

At this point in your life, (if you have no kids) I would take the job. If she wants to come, fine, but if not I would not let her hold you back in life.

Answer 6

Go for the job. If your relationship is truly meant to last, you and she will be able to work out a plan so that the two of you can be together.

For instance - she could finish her school in Florida, then move up there.

Or transfer to a school up there (an associates isn't as hard to transfer as, say, a juris doctorate). Or you could come down on weekends.

The key to it is that the two of you need to work out a plan together.
