Guys, in a dilemma right now
Below is my situation

The Good:
1. Near to home (5 km)
2. Near to place of studying (5 km)
3. Less stress & Office politics
4. Study Leave
5. No traffic Jam (my direction is opposite from traffic when going to work and vice versa)
6. Free Parking & Not congested
7. Super fast unblocked internet (I can use and download all I want)
8. Scholarship for my current studies.
9. Personal good desk and place (A big space for myself)
10. Fun industry and can learn a lot (seriously)
11. Attire is free ( I can wear what I want - usually jeans+shirt+shoe)
12. Swimming pool at office building (I just happen to love swimming)

The Bad:
1. Low pay
2. Very low increment (I can expect what i`ll get in years to come)
3. High cost of living (KL)
4. Growing kids in KL (not nice)
5. Can`t buy a house since low pay

Whats holding me from resigning
1. Governments plan to make Malaysia top Aviation Hub
2. The industry i`m in is very new in Malaysia and we`re the pioneer (seems bright so far), So I believe I will become a specialist in this industry
3. I`m still pursuing my studies, and the flexible time off and scholarship really helps me to focus, plus the distance and location of home, work, and study is very convenient (feel like I wait until I finish my studies)
4. Since my job is quite free time at certain times, I`ve considered to try out other side incomes, namely though internet, so I`ve been thinking with all the free time, I could try something out and if it works well then I could consider other options.
5. Pay back scholarship (break contract - but just pay what I took)

Whats making me want to resign
1. Low pay
2. If i`m too long in this industry, I believe it`ll be quite hard for me to jump to other industries. (I`ll have to start from scratch then..)
3. I`m very interested in investing, therefore, being in my situation right now, I don`t believe I can achieve my target.
