I need the experience of older, wiser people

So, I'm looking for work abroad right now. I'm a journalist, in broadcast, but I have done print.
Since age 14 I've wanted to work in the U.K./Ireland. And I'm finally in the position to do so. However, at the same time, it seems the only gigs I see on job boards there are for print journalists. I would do the print, but I'm worried that by doing so I'll be taking a step back in my broadcast career.
I wouldn't want to come back and be shunned by the broadcast outlets because I've spent the last two years, or whatever, working in print. And I don't want to come back as a mid level journalist, especially since my career has been going well and I've recently been asked to be a regualar guest on a popular talk show.
So what say you... should I take a print gig or hold out for a broadcast one...or should I staty here?

Once you get established in the broadcast, you can easily switch back and forth....

that;s the way to do it...

More visibility on air....

I would write like crazy for a local paper and get no recognition....

One appearance on a local talk show and BAM, everyone knows me...

But you are probably further along in your career than I ever got.. I was trying to get elected so I had to trim out what I said and did... I couldn't really be me....

That is the problem with running for office as a democrat... It is very easy to slip up and alienate part of your base... Much easier than if you are a conservative.....

I work for a station that is an "aphiliate" to the major network here..so I get playon their biggest station. As well I write for the biggest daily in the province, and for an online publication that's becoming the most ballsy publication out there.
So, as you said, staying would be good, cause in one year I can leave and come back to open arms...but, I'm worried shit will happen!

that is the delema of living.....

Question. Why would you leave a good thing.....

I mean since age 14.
And I'm scared if I don't do it now, I'll never do it.

to write your great canadian novel....

man, that made me smile
thanks for the input, man

If you wait for the "perfect" time, it's not going to happen. You are unencumbered right now. No wife, no kids. What is the worst thing that could happen? That is how I deal with things. How bad could it be? In your case, do you own a house? Do you have "family" obligations? If no, then GO. These chances do not come along all the time. Seize the day, my friend. Do not be afraid.
