you already know the answer. you just want us to give it to you in better sounding words.

we don't have crystal balls. fact of the matter is. if you have nothing to lose and everything to gain. go for it. calculate whats the most viable way and don't wast time .

Ha. When I think about it... that is exactly what I want. It's just a tough decision. Even if I know I ultimately want to leave and pursue this full time, being that I've never done something like this before, it's nice to get some on it thoughts, whether reassuring or against what I'm thinking, just to help me.

Ultimately, what I have to lose is just potential income. My job is one that (especially in NYC) is in demand and I have the qualifications to get another job if things went south, so I'm not really afraid of being out of a job if I needed money.

To be honest, I really never want to go back to what I'm doing anyway. I don't know if anyone else feels like this at times, but every moment I slave away I think about how much I could be accomplishing if I could use my time how I wanted to use it. The job sucked before I had that nagging thought... now it becomes unbearable at times.

by calculate i mean money wise. financials are scary but they have to be dealt with.
