So to start I will say that I am a 26 year old man, I esteem myself to be an intellectual as are my friends.
I moved to Louisiana from Virginia nearly five years ago in an effort to gain a masters degree in geology. I moved so,far away because I was offered a paid assistantiship which I squandered within two years. I have completed my classwork for the degree but have made no progress towards my thesis, the last leg of my degree. Instead I have entered into blue collar oilfield work, which is not unacceptable to me as I was raised in a blue collar home and manual labor is very satisfying to me and I feel that I am doing a service to my fellow countrymen through this profession.
Anyway, to the crux of my isssue. I have felt strong sexual feelings towards a woman whom I have known since high school but never expressed these feeling towards. I have held these feelings without letting her know outright for quite some time. At this point in time she lives in Denver and I make an effort to go there as often as possible as she is a good friend and I have several friends who live there also so I always have a fantastic time reminiscing with old friends.
My goal in life is to find a wife, create the nuclear family and raise children.
My question I guess is whether I should 1) quit my blue collar job and finish my M.S.
2) move to Denver and live a happy life with my friends in the hopes of finding someone to live my life with.
3) continue with my blue collar life in Louisiana with hopes of finding a wife.
4) move back to Virginia with no job but lots of family support and finding a job there.
Or
5) as a trained environmental scientist move to any other place in the country.
6) any option I've not thought of yet
I can provide any additional details/answers as necessary.
