at least for now

i keep getting into the "what are you doing after" conversation since i'm in my senior year of college. and it always goes the same way. since i'm not going to grad school I say probably getting a job and they say down here or back home. i posted before about my personality trait (problem) of wanting my life to be at least a little exciting/interesting. so this conversation (not the person who initiates it) kinda bothers me. 

in my situation grad school has two cons and one pro. 
cons: i'm kind of burnt out on school, money 
pro: going to a new place 

if my response changed to "grad school" this conversation would stop bothering me. but i'm not. i used to just answer "getting a job in europe or the east coast or something" but now i'm stuck. I'm familiar with/know people in San Diego and Santa Cruz and could probably have a cool living situation in either place. this logic makes the decision seem easy. but now is the time to go new places (in my situation especially) because I really don't have anything tying me to a certain place and i should be able to find a job most places. i have a fear of living somewhere for the rest of my life. this sounds kind of ridiculous. 

this isn't a solution or answer but I want a friend or friends to want to move somewhere new whether its for grad school, work or whatever. and then go with. at least for now.

Right on bro, I feel your pain. I am working full time now and it is wack! Not the job but the fact that a lot of my life is taken up with work.......for money....something is wrong with this picture, I need to do some thinking........
