My team is not doing very well but I hear about tebow every day good or bad. I reside in NC and he overshadows the panthers. Go figure. Hope you continue to enjoy Vegas. I will be there soon as well.

I resent the comment of not knowing anyone who has been in your position before. I recommend girl’s nights at craft beer bars (or better, the brewery itself). You will find football loving girls there. Try a night at UNLV, even if you make friends with students, they will be graduates before you know it. Find an event, and go!

xo,

]]> Comment on ‘To stay, or to go?’ by Karen Zamora http://lisakcarter.com/2011/07/24/to-stay-or-to-go/#comment-21 Wed, 03 Aug 2011 17:03:49 +0000 http://lisakcarter.com/?p=162#comment-21 Ms. Lisa Carter,

I admire everything you have given up to follow your dreams: Shiner Bock, close friends and family, comfort, home, and even Bobcat Country. But you are still young and beautiful. You have plenty of time to be comfortable.

As journalists we either sit next to the phone waiting for a bigger and better job opportunity or for breaking news. We have it drilled into our heads that sometimes you may have pick up and move to find news or a job. We understand that sometimes it takes years for us to finally settle down, breathe and start a family. But that comes with the dream of working and playing with the best. We get pounded on how horrible the industry and pay can be, but the truth is we don’t love it for the money.

Just a perspective…so many people wish they have stayed in your shoes, but fell to homesickness. Homesickness is a state of mind–something that you just learn to deal with (harsh… I’m sorry). I have never lived alone in a big bad city, took on a non-paid internship and stuck it out, but I have moved cross country with my parents and brothers (away from everything I knew and loved). It is nowhere near the same, but I can understand your reasons to leave.

Lisa you have the biggest support group out of anyone I know. Regardless of your decision, know that everyone will be right by your side (physically or mentally).

In my opinion do what journalists do best–pro/con list.

Love your biggest fan,

Karen A. Zamora
P.S. letter coming soon!

I found your website by searching for Media Bistro’s twitter. Found it! hah Im living in South Texas and Im originally from El Paso. I’ve been thinking of moving to NYC and try to wing it as a photographer. Im willing to drop everything here and hustle the Big Apple.

As for your ‘To stay, or to go?’ situation, I would say to try your best to get what you want. Family and friends will always be there to support you if you fail. Im willing to take that risk… only because we live once. All you can do is try your best. Good luck with your decision!
