"Currently my job is relaxed, but I am not payed well now and live in the middle of no where. I can tolerate it in the short term, but I don't want to spend another 6+ months here.

You are still very young and you can always look for the "low level" job in another year or so. What if your interests change in a year ? You would end up regretting not taking the better job anyway.
