Sounds like an excellent opportunity, BUT... remember friends and certain things in life can't be replaced with money. It's entirely up to you though, Nick. If I got offerred almost double my salary, it would be a tough decision, but I think I would still stay in Vegas. I love this place. No place else compares to here for me. I have met awesome people, there's always something going on, and there's a million things to do here. Besides, where are you gonna go in CA for a wounded dolphin at 2AM?
OK...OK... back to the subject at hand here. Look at it this way, Nick. I understand that it's an excellent opportunity and you really wanna jump at it. If you want to do it bad enough, then you will. I have always told myself that if in 2 days or so if I am still REALLY thinking hard about if I should do something or not, then the answer is no. That's just me though. Good luck with whatever you decide to do. You'll have friends to back your decision either way.
