I am 21 and still living with my parents. I have two jobs available that I can take, one two hours away, or one 14 hours away. The further one would be the better to gain more experience towards my intended career. The thing is though, I don't want to leave. I feel that if I leave, and something happens to my parents, be it illness, money problems, problems with my siblings, even death though I don't want to think about it, I wouldn't be able to be near enough to help them get through it. And if I stay, then I feel like I would be letting them down by not pursueing the one thing I enjoy doing in life. What could be worse? Being so far away that I wouldn't be able to say goodbye, or not making them proud by not following my dreams and letting them down again. I tried moving out of state before and became phsyically ill with homesickness and had to return home. Even two hours away would cause me to be very homesick, but staying here and letting them down would kill me. What should I do.
