What am I thinking ???? !!!!!!

In my search for the direction for my new adventure in my life, I find that said direction has taken a decidedly different turn than I first anticipated.  This weekend has been spent on polishing up my Academic Vita (resume for you non educational types).  The reason for this is that I am actually applying for a teaching job in.... wait for it..... South Korea !!!   For some reason,in the past month,  I have had two emails from a website about teaching in Korea.  In addition, Sarah has suggested the same thing.
Also, I have just found out today that one of my very good friends here in Tifton has a sister in law who is actually employed by the Department of Defense as a teacher.  Needless to say, I think that would be an awesome job too..... so, my friend Debbie is getting info from her sister in law as to the "how to's, what fors and
everything I wanted to know about teaching for the DoD but was afraid to ask...
I cannot believe how long the process of filling out on line applications for teaching ANYWHERE are.... but, then again.. why would I be surprised... ???  What would a teaching job be without PAPERWORK?????

I think that would be an awesome job! I've often thought that if I was younger and single, I'd find a job working overseas somewhere as a nanny or something. I think you should go for working for the DOD. You would be incredible and what an adventure that would be! Good luck in filling out all the paperwork.

Found a job listing for DoD in Korea for a Social Studies Teacher, but you also had to have 30 hours training in ART !!!!!! Excuse me.... ART!!!
I have decided to apply anyhow and the worst they can do is reject my application...
