Heh, should have mentioned folks that i have definitely dug in my heels here, got a place and a good steady job, so its not like i'm running low on money and/or ideas!
I have originally planned to wait it out liked most of you have recommended so i've set roots here, was just putting out some feelers to see what else is out there and make sure i'm making the best decision I can with all the info available to me!
Appreciate all the responses folks. Was pretty sure I was going to stick it out so will consider to do so until I get a better deal somewhere else. Thanks for all the responses, keep'em coming, I can only make a decision based on what information I have after all!
