Choices.

As some of you who read this already know, I am currently faced with a choice. It's a choice that, if i get wrong, may haunt me for the rest of my life. The question of career often comes up at some point, and how do you decide what is right for you? I mean, i've done IT for 4 years and im still not sure if this was the best option for me.. what if i had gone and done law at UTS or done some commerce degree?

I guess its something i'll never know, but i spose IT hasnt turned out that bad. I do count myself lucky that I even have the opportunity to choose. On one hand i have a job that promises a degree of stability, a good reputation, and a nice salary package. On the other hand, I have a job where the stability is less, the is global, harder work, longer hours and possibly a better chance for promotion.

In terms of the work environments, im really not sure, i spose thats one thing i'll have to look into, and i'm not even sure what i'll be doing exactly. Ideally, i think i would want to work a month in both places and then decide, but that obviously isnt possible. To make a choice now is a tough call, how do i decide something that may well affect the rest of my life?

Comments/Thoughts appreciated

Do the pros/cons thing. I know so many people going through the same thing. Ultimately I believe you do have a gut instinct as to what you want to take, and I believe you should follow that.
