At this moment, I have two different career paths that I'd want to pursue. Though seemingly unrelated, they have similarities. The reasons I'd want to pursue one or the other are extremely nuanced...I won't go into much detail (I doubt you care, honestly).
Career A:
-It's achievability is mostly in my own hands...which may or may not be a good thing. I tend to be rather, umm, complacent. This could easily hurt me...but I imagine I'd one day soon decide to put on my big boy pants and not let myself get in the way...a habit Ate struggling with at the moment.
-I think I'd be relatively happy doing this.
-It involves making a couple self sacrificing moves...closing doors that couldn't be re opened. It also involves serving interests that I might not strictly agree with, ideologically, but in an effort to more effectively serve interests I hold crucial down the line.
-Decently stable.
Option B.
-Certainly less stable..and also less determined by my own efforts. Almost going for broke...will happen in a big way, or not at all in all likelihood.
-Requires skills I'd have to develop...skills that have been developed extremely effeciently by those already involved.
-Good chance I take a shot, and completely miss...condemned to middle class hell.
-If shot is made, I'd be able to effectively serve interests I'd want to, withought ever having those interests taking a back seat.
-Potentially more exciting, fun, inspired.
- Significantly more monetary resources pouring in...well on the way to a lifestyle I've always dreamed of.
-Doesn't close any doors...leaves a very significant door wide open. Possibly, atleast..
I want to choose one or the other, and maintain that focus. I'm honestly not sure which one to choose. Advice?
(And no, you wont be getting labels for each career path. They are paths...not a set career.)

I also choose B. I dont think anyone should do anything they are ideaologically against or agree with especailly if its something of your own choosing..
But it sounds like you can start with B and if it doesnt work out, go back to A.
