I have a large dilemma. In a couple of weeks I will be graduating from college and in June I have been planning on thru-hiking SB . I even have a campsite reserved in Baxter State Park. For the past couple of years I have thought only of thru-hiking after I graduate.

But...

On Friday I received an e-mail from a potential employer out of the blue. One of my professors had recommended me for a job to this person and gave her my contact info. The job is pretty much my exact dream job. It is in the field I want to be in, is 10 mins from my house, and seems to be with a great company. This type of opportunity is what I have been working towards my whole life.

I feel really torn. I am finally getting an opportunity to do the hike I have wanted to do for years, but to do so would require turning down a chance at the job I really want to have. (Though it is worth noting I don't have the job, I still have to go through the application process)

Does anyone have any wisdom that might help me make a decision?
