So this is kind of crazy...I got an offer for a faculty spot at the small university in Kentucky. I am not sure what to think. A Faculty position is what I've been striving for for about a decade, but every body I've talked with says that the post-doc position in the kind of thing that will lead to much bigger and better things down the line. I agree with them and unless something happens to the funding for the position I am headed for the post-doc. It is just hard for me to believe that I am about to turn down a tenure track faculty position.
