Career or Travel?
Tpunks - I'm faced with the ability to consolidate my career gains, and actually have a stable and upward looking career. This is something that I have been extremely lucky and am thankful for.
But no matter how good a job is, or how much you get to travel for work (which isn't really 'travelling' if you ask me), its not the same as what some of you tpunks do... which is work from place to place and live in many countries at once. Sometimes I feel like I'm missing the boat, since this kind of lifestyle is better when you're young and are not tied down... basically live a life of travel. And lets face it, career requires commitment.
Is it better to have a career and not a 'travel life' or have a travel life but not a great career?
