Where the Pastures are Greener

I have been working locally for more than six years now and the thought of working in a different country has crossed my mind. I mean why not? Some of my friends and classmates in high school and college are already out of the country and working overseas, and if I would look at their photos in our social network, they seem rather happy and stable. They say pastures are greener in a different country that is why people chase them.

Working abroad can possibly give me more than double of what I am earning right now in my present work. I can also have the chance to travel in different places and meet a lot of interesting people, how cool is that? With all these perks, I think I’m going to give it a try. My first choice is either Australia or New Zealand, where literally the pastures are green.

At the Crossroad

Choosing which career path to take in the college is like being stuck in crossroad, lost, confused; you don’t know which direction to take but then you have to be moving for time is passing at any moment. I’m a business graduate but after three years of doing office work I ended up bored and looking for new endeavors until I ended up teaching. It’s not really the typical classroom setting, I teach foreign students and it’s quite obvious that I’m having the time of my life.

Before I entered college, I was such a rebel and I didn’t listen to my family’s advice of becoming a teacher. It’s not that parents’ always know best but it would be better to seek professional advice. Now, if you’re not satisfied with them I guess it’s better to ask yourself questions. If I study this course, how do I see myself after graduation? Safety reminder; go for courses that can earn you license. You only got one life to live, and the answer is not always living it to the fullest but how well you live it.
