Blog 6: Would you ever take a job away from your family to help support them?

I would take a job away from my family to help support them. After all my parents have done for me and my brother, I would do whatever I can to help them out in return. If stepping away from my family for a job would help benefit them, I would do it in a heartbeat. My parents taught me that family comes before anything because at the end of the day family is the only thing left. If you can’t ask family for help, who can you ask?

I don’t think I would stay away long, but I would work as long as I need to in order to them. If I had to stay away for a while to keep the job and to continue to support them, I would try to make trips home. Even if I had to go overseas, I would at least try to make it home for the holidays and/or special family events. Eventually, I would want to come home for good. If I never come home for good, I would just try to be closer to my family. An hour drive is nothing. I barely see them now since home is two hours away from campus. I know that I can get there and back in a day if need be. In that aspect, being away from home for a job is not impossible for me, it would be like being at school. I really only see my family on holidays and breaks.
