In a continuance to examine my life and what I'm doing with my future I have been decided what I should be doing with my self in the fall.

My options so far are:

1. Continue with where I am now. I don't think I want to work here for much longer but I could probably stick it out for the next year or so to pay off my debt and figure out where I want to go next. Not the my favorite option but realistically the one I will end up choosing unless I get serious about making changes.
2. Apply for positions in The Pas. I'm not sure I necessarily want to live there for the rest of my life but getting a job there that will pay as much or more then here would be away for me to sever my ties at work (something I tend to have a hard time doing) and try to start fresh.
3. Drop down to part time and go back to school to upgrade, increase my gpa and obtain the required courses to apply and qualify for education. This would take at least a year and then the after degree in education would take another 2 but by 30 I could have a career in teaching. Something that interests me but would be a big financial risk for myself.
4. Apply to teach ESL overseas (perhaps Taiwan). I would need to do a lot of prep work this summer (graduate for university, take an ESL class, get my passport and other paperwork ready and track down potential schools that I could get interviews at when I arrive, as it isn't recommended to accept a position before you arrive). I've always wanted to travel and this would allow me to still be able to make loan payments well doing so. My plan would be to take a position for about a year and then do a backpacking trip through europe afterwards. Of all the options this one could possibly be the most interesting and at the same time the scariest as its completely unknown to me. Alan says that he would do it with me so I wouldn't be completely alone but it will involve a lot of planning. Very tempting to just leave the country for a year though. Especially well I'm still in my twenties.

I'm kinda leaning towards option 4 right now and keeping 3 as my backup. In other words, start working towards getting things arranged for leaving in the fall for asia but if it doesn't work to leave then I could go back to university to ungrade and try for second semester or spring to go.

As usual my biggest hurdle is myself. So its a matter of getting my act together and working towards a goal.
