to stay with a job that entails (at the very least) an hour-long commute both ways, being busy with work for most of the day, intellectual stimulation, great young people, not too satisfactory monetary compensation
OR
to take a dead-end job for the convenience of a working locally, being done with work before noon, great mature people and the possibility of earning a lot more but the company may not last another 5 years
probably not much of a dilemma but the possibility of earning more money and being closer to home is pulling me to what is convenient.
