Actually, I'd appreciate advice from anyone.
Here's the story....
I am finished with my master's except for my master's project, which I can do from anywhere. I have wanted to move to Orlando for 2 years, but I have not been in a situation financially where I could do it (plus, I couldn't move without having a job first).
I had some interviews in Orlando back in August and received an offer, but it was a little low and I turned it down (mostly because I chickened out). I regret it deeply.
I am getting some interest (I'm waiting for a call right now, actually, to set up an interview) from some employers in Orlando again and I am nervous about it. I'm very close with my family, and although I'm 27, I've never lived out of state (unlike my twin brother, who's been around the country and the globe!). To be blunt, I'm freaked out about doing this, yet I am right around the age where if I don't try now, I probably never will, and I don't want to be filled with regret.
The thing is, I have a ton of student loans (over $100k), but not all of them are in payment yet because i'm still finishing my master's. I'm still on a very tight budget, and would like to be a WDW CM part time to help with the bills and because I want to
. I would have to leave now without my two cats (yes, I'm a loser, but I feel guilty about leaving them with my sister, who I currently share a townhouse with), and leaving my family in general. I am not currently working full-time here in Buffalo, and there are literally no jobs here, so it's not like I'd be leaving paradise on the job front. Oh, and I would have to look for a roommate situation (preferably with a CM or, even someone from here if anyone's looking 
). Something that's $500 or less per month (to work with my budget).
While it will be tough, my thought is in 5 or 6 months I would either A) be on my feet financially, so I could get my own place and come back for the rest of my stuff and my cats, or B) I would realize it's not for me and come home, knowing I tried, no worse off since I couldn't find a job in this horrible Buffalo economy anyway.
I'm sure I'll meet people rather easily (especially if I work PT as a CM), but I am a bit freaked out not knowing anyone (my brother has a friend who's a CM, but I don't know her very well).
I don't mean to sound whiny, but I would love some advice from locals, CMs, or anyone about this decision. I'm pretty sure I would have to go for it if given the opportunity, so I guess that's why I added "reassurance" to the title.
I appreciate any help, guys
