Little Baby Sammy

I have the same problem. Most jobs I would want are in larger cities and far away from where i currently live. I have toyed with the idea of moving and getting a new job as well. It is such a difficult decision. As far as making connections, I always seem to make good connections with the folks I work with. Then my connection circle seems to grow through them. I tend to choose people I really hit it off with and then expand from there. I prefer building deep connections with people, so it takes me quite a while to form connections and makes it really difficult to leave those. My advice is to follow with what feels right and stay away from what does not. I have taken massive leaps with a few people recently that have turned out to be great friends now. At the time it just felt right to dive in. So I say jump to get to know some people and then dive into the ones that feel good to you and build those connections. As for the hobbies, it's a great way to start and dig deeper into conversations. I have been told I have too many hobbies (which is very very true) but you should be able to more easily find groups with those hobbies you can met up with. and who knows maybe those people will share your same other interests. Wishing the best of luck to you in whatever you decide! -baby sammy
