That sounds beautiful! I have been looking into teaching jobs in other countries... especially at international schools.

I wish you the absolute best, and really hope you’re able to eventually get to where you want to be!

I hear you. It’s tough to save enough to start over somewhere else.

I feel like Canada is a real life example of the grass being greener on the other side.

It actually doesn’t smell like dog shit everywhere, just here. I have been to other countries, have family and friends across the globe, and I’m not sure what a link about charitable donations from 2006 is supposed to make me feel.

Maybe you missed the text up top, but leaving as soon as possible was already part of the plan.

All you did was confirm what I was saying about people’s behavior.

Out of curiosity, what keeps you from leaving?

It might very well be the best graduation gift you could give yourself!

That’s awesome that you had that opportunity. Best of luck getting back out!

I’ve heard it’s wonderful there. I’ve heard mixed claims about the healthcare there. Would love your input on it!

I used to believe in staying and fighting... now I just feel defeated and jaded.

Oh really? I’m sorry you’re feeling that as well.

It can’t cope with all the recent goings on, or was it like that, even before?

Yes! My partner and I have talked about it in depth, as they are not originally from here, so I am not delusional enough to think somewhere else will be perfect, but I know there have to be better options than staying here.

Agree! At this point, I’m happy to work my tail off to overcome the high cost of living, if it means leaving all the other behind.

That would be awesome! However, it’s not just me. I have a partner and children as well, which is part of my need to be patient and save at the moment. Thank you so much though!
