| Farewell Unkie |
| 11.20.06 (1:35 pm) [edit] |
My favourite Uncle is off to teach English in South Korea. Anyone who has signed up with Monster or Workopolis has probably received more than a dozen job offers for teaching English in South Korea, Japan or some other really really really far off place (to North America). Well, after months of battling with the depressing US labour market and working at unchallenging and eternally frustrating firms, Unkie-pooh has decided to fly across the globe to teach English to South Korean adults.
It's not a bad gig, he says. His airfare, accommodations and living expenses are all covered, plus he gets some "tax-free" income deposited every month. He's under contract for a year with the possibility of renewal after that if everything works out. Personally, I'm a little worried but strangely envious that he gets to have this fish-out-of-water experience. Who knows, may be he'll finally fall in love and get married. I doubt it though. Unkie-pooh is very particular and I'm not sure how well he will adapt to this new country.
I'd like to work for a year with Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders) but I have no medical training and I'm not sure how good I would be as a logistician. Still, I'd put my all into it and I would really feel like I was making a difference. If I don't do something soon, I may find myself saddled with a husband and kids and unable to just take-off when a need arises. Saddled. Gosh, I should be so lucky.

I want to be "saddled" by a husband. ::sigh:: And, I think Doctors Without Borders would be an amazing experience. I too am a bit jealous of your uncle. Good on him for taking it.
