Sometimes in life you have to make difficult choices. I am faced with one now – take redundancy and try and carve a career for myself as a web developer, or stay where I am because it’s pretty safe and the pay is good.

I’ve got a mortgage and a family, the time out of work would give me more quality time with my family but if I can’t secure regular work it may jeopardise the security for my family.

I’ve always thought of myself as a bit of a risk-taker, waiting for the big prize, but perhaps now I’m older I need to look at the big picture and play it a bit safer.

Such a dilemma, there is good money at stake in both situations, a good package or a good regular salary.

Maybe I need to stay put for a year and concentrate on establishing myself, but then I’d miss out on precious time with my children.

Dilemma, aaaaaargh!
