I graduated almost seven years ago, and since then have worked in sales/business development, backpacked and spent three years working as a Tefl teacher in Spain.
I have been offered a new teaching position in South Korea, which is well paid and a new experience. Although I have enjoyed working in Tefl, I am uncertain whether I want to remain in education and, for this reason, I am having serious doubts.
I graduated in geography and have always been interested in working with the building environment – whether urban planning or landscape architecture. I feel taking the job in South Korea will be another year on the wrong path, but I lack the funds to pursue postgraduate study.
South Korea offers me a great chance to save for the coming year, which would, in theory, pay for any postgraduate courses. Even with this, I worry that I will graduate at 30/31 with no relevant work experience. Another idea would be to combine my passion for travel and try to work my way into a travel company.
