UPDATE: Alright, I have read multiple times that the economy is suffering everywhere-- that is very sad to hear, BUT it still feel strongly about working somewhere else. I guess it is less about stability and more about experiencing something new and different.
I am partial to the idea of getting work visas and spending a couple years at different countries/cities. Maybe I will return back home or maybe I will find somewhere I would like to live for the majority of my life. Is this so unreasonable?
Original post:
I don't want to get into politics in here, but this economy is scaring me. I have a history class and we are/were studying the Roman Empire and it reminds me of the US, and now it seems the US "empire" is going to go downhill-- never to see its glory days again.
"So why not move somewhere else?" I asked myself.
I couldn't think of a reason not to other than family and friends, but they understand that we only have but one life in this mortal world, so I want to spend my time here being happy and with peace of mind.
I don't have the energy to learn a new language, so I am going to have to limit myself to English speaking countries. Any suggestions?
I was thinking of Sydney or Melbourne Australia or Vancouver Canada.
I'm tired of the flatlands, and I need mother nature to be near by. These places seem beautiful, right?
However Australia doesn't get cold enough, and Vancouver doesn't get warm enough for my tastes-- but I must make little sacrifices.
I am also worried about my education not going to be of much value to these countries. (Marketing/Public Relations/Crisis Management). So that brings up the question of finishing school or dropping out in my Sophomore year and find some other career path?
--I don't think my parents would like that decision though seeing how I'd be wasting much of their money. This is my only real limitation right now-- finding a way to support myself abroad by making use of my current education choice.
Any helpful insights or experiences on this quest would be appreciated.
Don't feel the need to answer all of my questions. Most of them I have to figure out for myself anyhow. General thoughts and feelings are welcome though.
Please share.
