Hi guys... I came here because I wanted a non-biased opinion on my situation...

I met a guy back during the summer. Although a lot of our hobbies are different, emotionally we connected very well. He understood me better than anyone I've met in the past. I sleep over at his house most of the time, and we usually spend our free time together.

However, we've come to a bump... which may not need to be a bump, I don't know. Going forward, keep in mind that I really do love this guy...

He wants to move to the Keys. He wants me to come with him. He wants to have 2 months worth of money saved up, so when we get down there, he can get an apt by the water, and a boat, and then start his own business, which basically will be taking up to 6 people out for the day to go kiteboarding. Either half a day, or entire day. He will offer lessons, and he will have drinks provided on the boat. He wants me to help him run his business.

Me, I'd like to go back to school. Probably is, what I want to go for (Printing Management), isn't offered at a lot of schools. None in FL. It's a 4-year degree. The school I'm most interested in is in Utah, near SLC. Now, we were out there for a week this winter to go skiing/snowboarding.

He doesn't like the cold. He wants to live where it's warm. He's a beach guy. I've finally figured out what I would like to do with my life (I'm 22), and I need the schooling to get there. He (who is 25), also knows what he wants to do, which is the gig in the Keys.

What do I do? Do I give up what I would like to do for love? Go down there and help him with his business? Hope it works out for us?? Or do I leave him (becuase he does not want to go with me to Utah...) and go for the education? I'm torn. I really, really do care about this guy, but at the same rate, I really, really would like to go back to school.

Help?!
