I just got a phone call from a guy setting a job up for me.
Its a wicked job and i wanna do it but its travelling 3 hours, Im in manchester UK and this job is in bath, bristol UK,
what should i do?? im a bit worried
im 20, live @ home, it'd be good for me but .i dont know...
let me know ur thoughts please

go for it. You only live ones. Plus time away from home will do you good.

go!

go dude
i left home before i hit 18 (and not to go to college). if it all ends up pear shaped, you can always go limping home, and if it works youll never look back.
just make sure the "job" is a reality before you depart

Stay overnight at a cheap motel/inn during the
week

Find a girlfriend in Bath. Stay during the week and go back to Manchester at weekends...and get wasted.
Don't end up like Ronnie Corbet in 'Sorry'...

well, if you are on good terms with your family, ask for a temp loan.
i never ask for much of anything, so i know my folks would help me out if i needed it.
they are your family, that is what family is for... to help out eachother when in need and to beat on eachother when times are good. =)

Find a spare room in your office and bring a sleeping bag. camp out during the week and go home on the weekends.

The answer seems to be move to Bath. It's a lovley place. I used to live near and visit quite a bit. You'll have riot. Try and the cash together for short lease bedsite and then move on when the money comes in. If it goes wrong you can always head back north.

u may share a flat with some cool students wo live already there?

all these suggestions seem perfectly do-able, and something i would suggest to someone else with the same dilemma.
but then reality kicks me in the nads and i puke. im gonna have to discuss with family, i might not even get the job but i dont want to think that i never could have
- Biofreak0
well man, reality does put the smack down in times like these.
and it doesnt matter so much if you get this job. it is more finding out about yourself. risks are tough to take. i know the butterflies in your stomach all too well. and it wont do anygood for me to say "Have some balls" cuz it sounds like just a matter of convincing yourself.
dont worry so much. think of it as an adventure. be scared, thats fone but the taste of freedom and something new will consume you the very first day you get there. best wishes from me.

MOVE
- Mick0
Dude - speak to the person that offered you the job - get on the level with them and talk about your issues. Let them know your concerns and you may be able to negotiate some compensation for the expense of moving - they may know somewhere you can stay - ask if you can spend a week working from home on a trial basis to see if you think the move is worth it.
NEGOTIATE -- sell yourself, show them you have the balls to get what you want.
- IloveQBN0
Mick is right, you should talk to them first because they may be able to hook you up with a flat or a girlfriend.

Dude, you're 20 and you live at home? Get the F%$# out and stop being a mootch! Geezus....do your parents even like you still?
