Should I Stay, Or Should I Go?

Something that has crossed my mind of late. For about a month, I've contemplated my future, my career, and where it's heading. Especially now when I'm bringing someone along with me. Can I really afford to stay where I am? I feel like I'm going nowhere in my current career. Did go for a job interview recently, but guess it's a closed door, as I just received a call from the place to inform me that the final selection is on the morning of the day after tomorrow, and I won't be able to make it as I have an early morning meeting in the office. Job's kinda sucky, pay wise anyway, so I don't think I'll take it up also even if I can go and am selected.

I do have a couple of offers from friends for their respective businesses, so I'm not exactly short on options. It's only a matter of which to do. Also, another option I have been contemplating of late is the property market. Mixed opinions when I sought the advice of friends. Some told me to wait before going, when others think it's a good choice compared to what I'm doing now. Guess I really have to seek God's wisdom in this. Longer term, I'm looking at entering the FX market as a trader, after being inspired by an article in the Sunday Times a few weeks back. This will require some capital, not to mention extensive studying and trading on demo accounts to get a hang of how trading works, so hope to be able to do so in about 6 months' time. Time to scrimp and save. And pray.

"A man's steps are directed by the LORD. How then can anyone understand his own way?" Proverbs 20:24
