Hi guys,
Well I graduated from unviversity in July and have recently been offered a job by an oil company with a 26k starting salery. Which is kinda cool, but the job isnt exactly what i hoped to be doing after university.
I applied to this company a while back, whilst waiting on feedback from them I applied to teach english abroad with a company called Korea. Well as luck has it they also have offered me a job to start in december. All and all I'm quite undecided. The sensible option would be stay here and take the job from the oil company but part of me wants to say fuck it go abroad and have a blast in Asia!! My parents have been supportive although i can tell they want me to stay here.
Any views to help me out?:chin:

I'm currently going through interviews for Japan, so I might be a bit biased on the whole TEFL thing.
The decission needs to be yours, but think about things. IMO Lifes too short.
Go and live a bit. :thumb:
New experiences, new places, new faces everytime over a 'respectable salary and routine' (though obviously there is a degree of routine involved in TEFL abroad )
Though Korea wouldn't be my first... or 50th choice.
you've got the rest of your life to be stuck in a job you hate .. LOL
see new things have new experiences ..
or you could do the oil job for a year or so, save up some money, and then go travelling for even longer. and then return with even more experience.
