Guest Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 Very good advice. I think about Thailand and the 2 girls I left behind. If I stayed on my current course in farangland I would be doing pretty well in say 5 years but at the moment all I think about is getting back to LOS. I have some contacts in LOS and my hope is the skills I have combined with my networking will eventually allow me to have a career with a decent income in Thailand. thats probably the goal for most of us on this board. I know what you mean by staying in the LOS too long can make coming back to farangland career wise and mentally really hard. I have only spent about 3 moinths in LOS but it has had a profound effect on me already. I reckon its taken me 3 months to readjust into 'normal' life here and although i am coping better than when i first got back i cant imagine living here for the rest of my life. its too boring and predictable. i dont know what the answer is. on one hand i could spend 6 months in LOS and that would tell me if i can have a career and the life i want there. but, after six months even if im having trouble doing anything but teaching english im probably going to make excuses to stay because of how much i love the place and ill have to face looking for a new job in farangland in my early 30's which isnt tragic but its starting to get there. god forbid i spend a couple of years there and not making career progress. i can see the years just drifitng away, ill be happy but broke and ill have no future. what a dilemma!!
