I'm considering doing a comms course in London. It's run so that you can keep your job while you do it - in modules, three days at a time. It would be a chance to meet other people in my field, maybe get a toe hold in England ready for The Move. Flying there wouldn't be a problem - you can get cheap tickets nowadays to London. But the course is expensive and that makes me hesitant on taking the plunge. Of course, the company might pay, or pay some of it but I'm almost loathe to ask them. Have to move fast as applications close soon. Decisions, decisions. Never easy for an INFP. But, on the other hand, I'm rather INFJ-ish at times and would like to get things settled and get on with it.
Bud says I shouldn't try and work out what all the consequences will be - just go and do what I want. That's the problem, I said. All I really want to do is chuck my job and go and bum along a few British beaches for the summer or waft off to New Zealand and spend my time gliding through clear waters in a canoe (actually, I never did that), digging my toes into hot sand and staring out to sea in search of dolphins.
Course, or no course, I'll never really be at home in the corporate fishpond. Wouldn't I be better to take life by the horns (ouch, no) and go off and do something completely different?
Yes, but what?
Maybe it's the course that will be the bridge to that 'something completely different'...
So you go and pay all this money and then go off and do something else. That doesn't make sense.
Who said life has to make sense?
Other people get good jobs without doing courses (and, anyway, you're too old, my dear).
Ahh, let's do it - just get on with it!
It's not easy being an infp....
