Let's say...you have a job where you work 18 hours a week, able to coordinate the material you are teaching, you have basically 4 months of PAID vacation because of the breaks between university semesters, and have an apartment that is paid for. Why would you want to leave that position, especially when you aren't positive about what you want to pursue next?
People have asked me that, why did I leave that in Korea to come back to the struggling U.S. economy?
Although it scares me to wonder how long it will take me to secure a job here, I don't regret my decision to come back. What I am certain of, is that it is not my long-term dream to stay in Korea as an English teacher. Therefore, even though the future is cloudy, why WOULD I stay there? I am so young, and there are a lot of opportunities and paths that I could take. If I am certain I do NOT want to stay on one path, despite the perks, why would I waste my time doing that. The more time I spend in that position, the time I'm losing to be proactive on my search to find what is right for me.
Practically every day I have been applying to jobs. I know that if I stay persistent with a positive attitude, I'll find something. whew...
