Get in somewhere where you can be productive. If it isn't where you are now, go to where you can give support, other than emotional support ($).


You haven't found work where you are now, so essentially you're wasting your time and money spent on school. Take the job if you can get it, and take care of business.

I think you have to do it man. If you don't you will be stuck where you are now. Who doesn't want to do better? You can help your dad and even drag him with later. There ain't shit for you in Bakersfield man. Besides you went to school for this shit, and there are no fine dining restaurant and hotels around your area.

I would suggest taking the job. You can always quit and move home if you decide it sucks. It will be tuff to be away from family but after a year or two of real world experience at a vegas hotel you will be a step above the competition back at home if you decide you want to move back. If it's a new hotel opening you would be getting in on the ground floor and assuming it takes off you would be OG status in a short amount of time if you decided to stay. Jobs are in short supply so opportunities should be taken advantage of when they present themselves.
