Is It Worth Leaving Everything Behind for a New Job?
After a year of endless job hunting, over 200 applications, and more than 50 interviews, I finally landed a job as a PE teacher. If you know anything about PE positions, you know they’re almost impossible to get—no one ever leaves! I was desperate, my mentor was desperate, and honestly, I was starting to lose hope.
But then, out of nowhere, a school in San Diego wanted me. They invited me for a second interview and offered me the job. I had to take it. But here’s the catch: I’ve never moved away from Los Angeles in my life. All my friends and family are here. Now, at almost 25, I’m packing up and moving to a new city with my partner.
At first, I was thrilled. But now, reality is sinking in. I’m anxious, sad, and worried. Did I make the right choice? Is it worth leaving everything behind for a job? What if I regret it? And don’t even get me started on the nightmare of finding a place to live in San Diego.
Has anyone else gone through this? Did you regret moving for work? Or was it the best decision you ever made? I want to hear your stories—good or bad. Let’s be real: Is chasing a career worth the emotional cost?
