I think emotional growth should come before professional growth (depressed, generation, problems)

[the city]

I am at a point of my life where I have had open doors for several different positions, but the same feeling came up with each opportunity - the emotional state.

I feel you need a balance between professional, emotional, and social status to have all functioning right.

If you move and already have emotional problems and trouble making friends, then it will soon carry over to the professional life.

I am sure there is more studies into this topic, but common sense tells me this is true.

I saw myself still working emotionally and socially and I knew even I made a bunch of money and had the perfect job I would be depressed if I spent that money doing activities on my own and having no support structure to move through change.

So I decided to pass on opportunities and give myself more time to build new relationships and also work out my emotions and continue to identify who I am, what I want, and where I want go.

I feel in America we are struggling more than other nations in that older generations don't reach out enough to guide younger generations. I feel older generations push on to the younger generations to support the consumer culture and in a way encourage younger generations to disconnect with their emotions and wanting to build relationships and develop their lives about wanting to get more material things.

Anyways, I'm open for discussion on this topic.

Well sure depending on the emotional problems but if your emotional problems are because you don't have a professional life then obviously they won't be a problem after a job.
Plus no matter what the emotional problems are they can be fixed after obtaining the job. You could get a better therapist with your salary. A job can also keep you busy so you won't have as much time to be emotional and could give you a sense of purpose.
I'm a loner so I don't really care about making friends. I just want to earn my own money.
