Post college idea
Okay, so last night at dinner we were talking about who was going abroad and all that, and I mentioned that I was thinking of moving to either Ireland or Australia for a year or so and just getting some job there and living. Someone mentioned a different alternative, and I'm wondering what all you happy people think of it

1) I really can't refute this. I don't know if I would call it a "hole" in my life, but something very very different. I am looking into if I would be able to have contact with other volunteers, which would be nice to make friends who I could actually stay in contact with.
2) true, I could see other places...but I wouldnt really be able to experiance a different culture. Most accounts say that the first year is really learning the culture. And while I would mostly live in one other place, I would be able to take vacation days to see other places. So if I'm in South Africa, I could take trips to see Kenya and such. As far as I've read, they give you a selection of places you can go, and you choose from that list. English Education is needed in I think every country they have services.
3) I'm weird. :)
4) This is the hardest. I mean, I assume that family or friends could come visit if they wanted, but I don't know. Thats three birthdays I miss, 2 christmases/new years...its a lot. This is the biggest factor against going.
5) True, there are major issues in America that I could help with...but many of these problems are nearly as severe on the whole as other countries. Plus, I would have the chance to really see something new. And be immersed in the culture.
I'm still very undecided, but thanks for the concrete sequential list of arguments against. Arguments against will probably do more to help me decide.
you and your logic.
