So I have to make one of them major life decision sort of things.

I have been given the oportunity to move down to Georgia. I really can't decide.

Pro:
Would be nearer to family, my brother, older sister, and mother are down there.
The economy in Idaho SUCKS, I can't get a good job to save my life, what im doing is one step up from working at McDonalds.
Better life, unless you like nascar or the rodeo their are not many things to do in Boise.

Con:
Leaving alot of family also, Father, younger sister, cousins.
Moving sucks.
I have been down south, I almost died from the weather. Anything about 70 degrees and im hot.
They have an ITT down in GA, I could finish up my associates degree, but would still have to change schools, always a hassle.
Despite it being Idaho Boise is rather progresive, very handicap accesable, it's got a good bus system.

Depends on what part of Georgia you are planning to move to, if you plan on moving anywhere near south of Macon, or west of Savannah, don't do it. You'll thank me later.

I think moving to Kennesaw, Georgia would solve all your problems.

On a serious note, think twice about picking up and leaving all of your family behind.

Love them or hate them, they are family, and it can be tough.

(sigh)

I think change is good, especially when it's scary. You know Idaho, but Georgia sounds like it might have opportunities for you. Go for it. Worst-case is you have to move back, and it's not like you're alone out there.

Well, it all depends on where in Georgia you're going to end up. Don't do the small town thing. There are no job opportunities.

The weather SUCKS. You aren't going to get past that here.

The people mainly suck. Yeah, yeah, not all of them. Whatever. Tell that to the people here.

Oh yeah, and no alcohol sales on Sunday. Gah!

Still, being near family can be nice. If you like them. =)

Having been to Idaho, I can't imagine that georgia would be much worse. Being down here in texas though away from all of my family (oddly enough the first of my entire family going back into history to ever have even visited texas) I can tell you that bwing away from your family for long periods of time is stressful, but bearable, especially if you keep in contact via phone/video conference/ occasional trips back.

On the other hand, even if they do have a school down there for you to transfer into, you already know the one up there, you know the teachers, you know what to expect grade wise. I personally would reccommend at least finishing the associates degree there before transferring.

Good luck either way.
