Over the last few years i have been working towards becoming fully CISCO certified (networking advocate) or something like that has a really weird word after it, Thankfully after many months of studying i have achieved everything i needed to gain the full qualifications in this field of networking.

But more recently this opened the door to me, in the job opportunities front in a very strange way and heres how:

Scenario 1:

I could stay here in england traveling up and down the country seeking work / employment of any type inside the IT field, struggling like most people do in these hard times to make a living and support the family they have, (or other people such as gf's, wifes etc), hoping that someday the right opportunity opens up some-where to make a life out of it.

Scenario 2:

Give up everything i currently have here and move to a more IT based country / town where its more likely ill find some type of job based around IT, or at least one of the many thousands of different variants of IT jobs that currently exist in modern times.

Scenario 3:

Chase the dream of working at a big gaming venue by hopelessly trying to get involved with one somehow, in any type of (yet again) IT field that opens up inside the organizations, ofc this would also involve part of scenario 2 of giving up pretty much everything to take a risk and either come out with profit, or go bust.

Either way all 3 options are capable for me at this point, i can afford the move, to where-ever is needed, but after a month or 2 it would probably start getting rough with funds, would appreciate any help or peoples thoughts on this, peace x.

Aint life great

Not doing what you really want, will one day result in you having regrets.Go wherever you want to go and try to work whatever you really want to work.
But you should also be able to pass a reality check. How good are you? Will 3 work out for you, because you have what it takes or are you just the average Joe. The cisco certificates are awesome, but in the end, they are just a piece of paper and not a free entry card.

You can start looking for something even in other countries in advance, at least to give you a good overview of the situation, so you have an easier time later on.

Go for your dreams. You can still be a boring fuck later on, after you've tried :-)
