The phrase is, "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush." Means what bledsoe3 said ─ things we already have are more valuable than things we hope to get.

It's British by the way.

Then again, there's my own variation...A hand in the bird is worth two in the bush.

Oh I see, you'd think if its a British saying I'd of heard of it.

I think with the current state of the economy it would be silly to give up an opportunity which is being handed to me. I suppose I am only just 21 and have the rest of my life to relocate, I have been offered to be trained up internally and my pay rises with each module I carry out. Meaning I will have my degree and experience within pharmacy and to be honest I enjoy my job and would need to be offered something great to leave. My boyfriend starts a new job tomorrow in logistics in a different oil company which offers international travel and relocation chances, only American office is it Texas though. So a glimmer of hope is still there.

I hope they train you externally too.

A job in Texas isn't a glimmer of hope, it's a prison sentence.
