i wish i have the same courage to do so actually when i posted this thread i was facing this problem i am working as a developer and i like it alot and then comes an offer to become a university instructor and i had to pause ....
I like my job alot despite that i am in a small company and with only 2 developers and one project ... but i am learning and i am happy ...
so i had these arguments with my family and they said that i must be insane to refuse an offer that is at least 3 * my current salary ... prestige ...etc.

the good news that i didnt officially get the offer yet and so i dont have to choose now
haha time to think than. Whatever you choose make sure you pour your life and soul into it (or whatever you want to call it /lifeforce/energy/passion/etc.), if you can't do that I would never work there. But I already said that, before if people did not agree with me I'd be taking it personally 'there must be something wrong with me'. I changed my outlook on that completely, 'they probably just don't understand' or 'there jealous that I am capable of following myself'. The second one is way more empowering to me.
