I spent a few years working in banking and hated my life, left that for another offer and worked for a consulting company within the lumber/forestry industry that paid a very very nice salary but required living in the middle of nowhere. Decided I wanted to go back to school, the original plan was to get a degree in Poli Sci (which I enjoy very much) and then goto Law School somewhere else but I am in my last semester of undergrad and really miss making money. I work part time (20-30 hours a week) at a locally owned clothing store, they don't sell anything I'm too hyped on (Wings + Horns is probably our ' best ' brand) but the people are mostly awesome and on weeks when I hit my sales goals I can make pretty good hourly wage with commission bonus, it's not uncommon to get between $20-$25/hr and at Christmas time, etc. even between $30-$40.
My GF lives in Korea where I used to live and I really miss it there, I want to go back but the only way I can is really to be an English teacher, which kinda bums me out cause I could make twice that salary even working for my family here. It's also not a very ''respected'' job there, which I'm sure can attest to. Still it gets me there and I have a couple business idea's I kindof want to try in Korea and the teaching job would give me a fairly comfortable living salary with enough free time to pursue other ventures. Maybe this isn't the right thread for this but I'm fairly open to opinions on this situation.
