‘I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.’

You’ve been washing and waning about deciding where to go, what to do, what the next step will be… you’ve already taken a huge leap and travelled half way across the world where you know no one, where you had no ties, and where you virtually were walking blind. Don’t stop now just because you’re afraid of loosing an opportunity for an IT job, or because you think that if you take this chance you wasted four years at school…. Do it Trev. You may not have mentioned sailing in general conversation, but you sure have done more than mentioned it to me. So maybe you’ll have to scrub the poop deck once in awhile… its an amazing opportunity for you to do something you absolutely love. Screw IT. Screw conventions and expectations and the idea that you should be starting a career. Stop second guessing yourself and do what you know you want to do.

I’ll send you an eye patch in the mail…. arrrrr. ;)

You said it your self, “I want it, so why am I hesitating?”

Go for it. Better than waiting for some lame IT job to come along which you will probably get tired of in three months anyways!

You’re afraid :) Plain and simple, it’s a situation where you have little to no control and it scares the shit out of you. You also know nothing of what’s going to happen, no fucking idea of where this will lead you or do you know already? Do you know that you’ll love it so much that it might even entice you to give up the IT world completely? Causing your strange sense of duty and perhaps honour to kick in. After all you spent 3.5 years in school for IT and you’re going to throw it all away for a 4 month stint on a tall ship where you don’t know what will happen after?

This is where you gotta shut up the logic and reason and that weird fucking sense of duty off.
