re: Pam and Jim

They moved to Texas or something and he finally went and chased his dream. He was completely devoted to Pam and would not go without her, so she finally relented and they left.

He ended up being a success.

When you watch the show as it is going on, Pam seems great. When you step back and watch it from the beginning, you see why she was a receptionist in the first place. Jim believed in her, but she didn't believe in herself and kept using Roy (for security) and finally Jim (for the same thing).

It all worked out though, as she saw that Jim was willing to be miserable for her and she missed the old Jim so she was willing to move.

Really, even her last move was selfish because she wanted "happy, pranster Jim" back and she was willing to move to get it.

The only one trying for anything was Jim. First, he went after Pam, then he went after a life/career.

And, Michael. Michael did the same. In a way, Jim and Michael both were the heroes of the story.
