Sacrificing Comfort and Security For Progression...

I'm at a point in my life where I am relatively comfortable with my job and money situation. I make about 10/hr at my current position, which was supposed to be "temp to hire" after 3 months. Well it's going on almost 4 months with this company and I don't see me getting hired anytime in the near future. That is unless I decide to drop out of school and dedicate my immediate future the company (I have no plans to do so). So I have been offered another postition making 15$/hr with the potential to make a considerable amount more than that within the first 3 or 4 months. This job though involved working from home, and a considerable amount of less job security. Althought, if I was to not last that long I always have my position at HanR Block in Jan.-Apr. I think I'm at a point in my life where I need to take that dive and go for the risk. I see myself so often being satisfied with mediocrity, which is something I'm changing in many aspects of my life. For instance I plan on taking most of the community college I took and passed with a "C" over again, to boost my GPA. I've moved out of my moms house, I've quit drinking. I think it's a good thing that I look back to this time last year, and I deff. think my life is on a much better "track" than it was last year. Now that I'm doing so much better, do I want to incur all the risks that are involved in quitting a job to start a new one? Well I was watching a documentary on Kanye West last night. I know that sounds kind of pathetic to idolize a musician of all things, but he took a lot of risks in his life that people thought were crazy at the time. Like dropping out of school to pursue his rap career and dropping everything and moving to LA. I guess I decided that being comfortable is good, but it takes risks to achiever your dreams... I think that in the long run this will be a good decision. I love my boss. And I feel bad that he spent all that time training me, only to have me quit. He himself told me at one time though that you have to be selfish because nobody else is gonna be selfish for you. So... check back to see the outcome!
