That's totally out of the question! (leaving your kid to pursue a career)
That being said... how many of you would do as most of our parents did? pick up (kids and all) leave everything behind to go to a country where you don't even understand what the hell they are saying? Now THAT'S balls

:raiseshand:

There's one thing I learned growing up with a mom who did exactly that: the one thing I can actually give my kids is EXPERIENCES-- it's not the toys, the clothes, the stuff that they'll remember and learn from; it's the experiences we live together.

as per the leaving my kid part......i love my child to death but if i as a parent dont decide to take some risk in life what im i teaching him?? plus like my mother said sometimes u have to live ur dreams cuz regardless your kids grow up and leave you....

That's one thing I would never, ever do: leave my child to go chase a dream somewhere else. Jobs and careers can be had anytime. Their childhood only happens once and I wouldn't miss it for the world.

Would you do it? Yes... oh, yes, I would.

If so, where? Italy or Australia... anywhere, actually.

What would you like to do? Write.

Would there be anything holding you back? My family's unwillingness to leave everything behind and embark on a crazy, irresponsible and possibly dangerous adventure. If I could convince them to pack up and leave, we'd be off as fast as it takes to renew my passport, which incidentally, I've been meaning to do for the past 8 months and can never get around to doing.


There's a "Work Abroad" job fair next month that I'm really eager to look into.  I think I'm too chicken $hit to leave though.

i dont understand y u ppl say ur 'kids' are holding u back, wth?!?!?!
if they are such a burden y not give them to the baby mom/dad and just leave!  If u cant luv ur kids n want to be in their lives like they want u 2 b, then y pretend to be a father/mother?!?!?!?!

if ur dream is to work abroad, do what u gotta do to get all ur fam over there, comsolidate debt, go bankrupt iuncare but y exclude them from a big step in ur life?


MJ: i thought ur mom was....nvm

Yes, Costa Rica

you could get a work visa for the UK, for a year or two i think by being a canadian citizen and under 35? same applies for australia. i think france has some deal too.

you could always teach english in asia.. a lot of people seem to do that.

i am working in washington dc myself, which is not abroad really.. but i have no regrets about moving away! :)

I went to Aussieland for school, not for work, but the experience of travelling is amazing! LEaving home and everything that you know is hard, but it's so rewarding when you finish your experience knowing you made it on your own. I would do it again anytime!!!

lol almost the same as my thoughts......only just add in a tourism related job and replace NYC with just florida......

NY is good for the weekends...shopping clubbing...seeing some sexy latinas and going down roosvelt avenue killa queens to chill with all the ecuas....

I changed my mind - If Dany is going to those destinations, send me to China instead!
