Our universities should have opportunities. <br /><br />Places like hong kong, Korea, etc..more developed countries should have opportunities for you. <br /><br />But I guess you might have to bite the bullet and finish your dissertation asap.

They're good opportunities, but I'm looking for jobs that do require master's degrees or PhDs. I did find a few job opportunities in Asia, but they're mainly for people who have already completed their degrees.Neurotic Workaholichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06775298184138766683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2445163857888749606.post-11474973953477062442011-02-02T10:06:38.634-06:002011-02-02T10:06:38.634-06:00Ever thought about teaching in Asia?

I think that's also what I'm scared of, because I've been in Chicago for so long and everything's so familiar now. But hopefully if I do move somewhere else, eventually it will become familiar too.Neurotic Workaholichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06775298184138766683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2445163857888749606.post-51611100153112690232010-12-31T07:03:29.924-06:002010-12-31T07:03:29.924-06:00Good luck!

If we're going to live in a world where everything is so mobile and the sense of community is all but lost, we might as well take advantage and keep things exciting! :)FreeFlyinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17804129574044893085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2445163857888749606.post-71906997745433737032010-12-30T11:52:27.248-06:002010-12-30T11:52:27.248-06:00Hi No Way Cupid,

If the school wasn't a good one, then it wouldn't matter if it was a college town or a big city.Neurotic Workaholichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06775298184138766683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2445163857888749606.post-32213060091766675452010-12-29T10:01:19.787-06:002010-12-29T10:01:19.787-06:00Thanks for the plug!

I went to graduate school in a college town and I hated it, but that's me, not you. College towns can be awesome and often do have a lot to offer in the way of coffee shops, bookstores and culture. And if it's a big school, there's often a lot going on.<br /><br />Keep us posted!No Way Cupidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09077951809142944479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2445163857888749606.post-85870962340965116802010-12-27T21:36:38.260-06:002010-12-27T21:36:38.260-06:00Hi Talli,

I am trying to be optimistic about the possibility of a move, especially because I'd be really sad about leaving Chicago. I think I feel more attached to this city than I do to my hometown. <br /><br />Hi notesfromnadir,<br /> I think I'd like to live in a college town, because then there'd probably be bookstores and cafes there (at least I hope there would be). I didn't realize that moving could give me some material, but that's a good point!

Do you prefer a smaller, quieter city or even a town? <br /><br />It may be scary but moving does involve a lot of material to write about! :)notesfromnadirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09904500676081267972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2445163857888749606.post-82177392076223379602010-12-27T08:03:59.201-06:002010-12-27T08:03:59.201-06:00I think look at other possibilties and examining o...I think look at other possibilties and examining options is a great way to keep your spirits up with what you need to deal with in the present - I hope that makes sense...<br /><br />Anyway, hope you're enjoying the holidays.Talli Rolandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04780882465745107715noreply@blogger.com
