Cincinnati to Muncie?

i live in Cincinnati With my parents and my girlfriend. My girlfriends sister lives in Muncie Indiana. She is being generous to offer there house to use to rent to own it as they are moving up the street to another house to accommodate there coming baby. Yes this is real nice but here is another plus her husband has offered to let me work for him at his company, he installs Astroturf at football stadiums, but you got to do a lot of traveling, which is something Id like to do. Plus the pay is EXCELLENT. Now comes the down sides its 3 hours away from my family, were kind of real close, and its also 3 hours away from her family, except her sister. This also would be our first place of our own so we really have no furniture or anything except out computer,bed and tv. My biggest problem is being so far away from my parents, is it only because ive never lived away from home?

Would I be stupid to pass this up?

Try taking daddies little girl 1100 miles away. I am also 1100 miles away from my family. we only make it back home once or twice if we are lucky per year. Do it. Some chances only come along once in a life time. That is why we moved.

If it is something you would want to do then Do it..

You can always get a webcam and call the folks and then go visit occasionally..

Also you mention no furniture.. You can check out craigslist and get free furniture and many other household items..

Everybody is leaning towards going there.....I got a doozy for ya know with it, since the company I worked for closed the plant here in Cincy (Georgia Pacific) I been unemployed, and today I got a call to have an interview with a well established company here that hopefully I get hired on with, so if I do I will stay around Cincinnati but if by some chance things go sour and dont get hired Chances are Muncie Here I come...

Sounds like a risk to me: living in a house they own, working for them; what if things sour for you? Then you'll have no home and no job. Unless you are really sure of this, I would vote NO.
