I ask because you say you've found a company that is willing to pay travel expenses to come up north. How far along is that process? Just inquired? Applied? Initial interview? But again if you get that gig before your lease is up would you move early and take a hit on the lease?

As for right now:
-- Is the PT work at home job a concrete, written offer that's on the table?

I guess whether you take that depends on how much you think it WILL HELP YOUR CONTINUED JOB SEARCH in CT -- to BE IN CT (once your lease is up). (If you're sure that job truly doesn't care where you are, and you could move it to CT in three months.)

-- you can move to CT with this PT job in three months
-- or stay with your FT job in Fla making more money in the meantime and possibly move to CT with no job.

Only you have a feel for how your search has been going and might continue to develop.
Ah this is an entirely different job.

This is a full time CET position at a communications company. As of today there remains only 73 days before I get my POD and leave. My girlfriend is here with me in Florida and should I need to leave early, I will hop a plane and come back in a few weeks to help her move. I'll rent a car up north until that time comes.

Good luck.
BTW, what's POD?

CET: what? computer engineer technician?

Sorry, I don't know these abbreviations.

$24/hr for radio communications AND it's only 10 miles from the town I'm moving to. Hopefully I'll get this one :-)
This certainly sounds like a better opportunity, most work at home jobs are scams, or very low paying. I do know people making 100k a year working from home, but these are upper level IT jobs for people that worked the 9 to 5 gig in there company for years, not at the $13 an hour no experience level.
