To my Voyeuristic Diary

I guess it's tomorrow already, so I can post about my initial thoughts from this evening.  Now, dear reader, you get a taste of something less insightful, or at least far less earth shattering or opinionated. The fact is, I'm in a dire need for a career change, or a job change into something resembling a career.  I had an epiphany the other night when I was randomly searching the internet for nothing in particular.  It occurred to me to search for positions in living history institutions, and lo, and behold, such a thing does exist.  That led to a short search and I found apprenticeships for preservation.  So here is my concern...would I be foolish to give up a steady, flexible, but low paying job and throw caution to the wind and work in Rural or Urban Pennsylvania for comparable pay, but no longevity in an effort to build experience and hope for a better shot at a real career, or tough it out and forge a new path here, albeit slowly?
