[at-l] The trail forks and both are blazed white...

Some sage thru-hiker way before my time said this:

"If thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail isn't the most 
important thing in your life while thru-hiking, find what 
is and go do that."

JOB

In IT network administration there are way more jobs 
available than there are people to fill them. If you 
search monster.com just on the word 'MCSE' and track the 
number of open jobs listed in the last 60 days, you'll 
find the number went from 775 open jobs around October 
2002 to about 1080 last week. Now if you live in Podunk, 
Idaho there may not be many/any jobs available at all in 
IT so a lot depends upon geographic location in the 
country and whether you're willing to move to the places 
where jobs are available.

So...my point is there are likely to be tons of jobs up 
your alley available in the country and the IT job 
situation is definitely getting better every day. So I 
don't see the idea of not taking this particular job 
opportunity as losing out on anything. The next job 
possibility may even be better.

THRU-HIKE

Consider this -- I don't know of a single person who's 
thru-hiked the Appalachian Trail who would have ever given 
up their time on the AT to do something else. Not a one.
