Tough call...at least for anybody else to make for you.
Do what your heart tells you.
That's ALWAYS the correct course to take.

    Dear List:

       Help! I'm in a very sticky situation. I'm planning to hike the
PCT this spring. I've just graduated from college and I'm living at home
for a year before I go to grad school. I'm currently  working as a legal
assistant making $9 an hour, which helps me save for my trip, but
unfortunately isn't very satisfying. I've been offered a job through the
SCA (Student Conservation Association) doing trail maintenance on the
Florida Trail starting January 10th and ending April 1st. I would love
to take this job, but I'll only be making $40 a week, which does not
help me save for the PCT, but would be an amazing experience and would
definitely get me in shape for my upcoming thru-hike. So here's my
quandry: should I stick with the safe job, make money and have more time
to prep for the trail, (specifically, get my mail drops ready) OR should
I take job I would love and believe in, yet earn next to no money and
risk some prep time for the trail. I have to answer back by Wednesday
afternoon, please help!

     Elizabeth
