I realize I'm not 30 yet (... korean age 30 next year! eek!), but I just was informed today that the Korean government has cut spending on English programs - so my province cannot afford to hire or renew any teachers for the upcoming school year (which starts in March).
So. basically. I'll be laid off effective February. confused
I don't really know what I want to do - career-wise. I kind of was planning on teaching a lot longer.
(but I don't foresee staying in Korea - if the government is cutting then the private academies will not only be flooded but will be able to make lower offers than what I currently make - which is still what you would consider poverty in most states of the US... sounds bad but it's not bad.)
All that aside, spoon time!
Have you ever had a mid-life crisis?
What did you do?
How do you go about job searching (or job searching from overseas)?
Websites? Groups?
Ever think of joining Eharmony? xd

If I let myself go off the deepend in this midlife crisis - I could easily dye my hair pink, get a job at Hot Topic and join Eharmony for the lols. (actually... 2 girl friends of mine just met and married guys from there.... it's freaking me out.)
