Teaching English Overseas
I've been conducting more research into the possibility of working overseas teaching English. The amount of information out there is quite varied.
China seems like the prime place to start if you don't have a Bachlor's degree.
Some places are pretty drab and gray and others are more bright and clean. Check out this particular school: http://www.tsheducation.net/tshengv1/index.asp
I wonder how well I would handle being in China. Personally I haven't dreamed of travelling to Asian countries. But, if my goal is to help where my skills can/will be used then why not consider China. What would my options be to simply travel somewhere first and then start providing some kind of service.
I need to create a spreadsheet which shows various countries and their visa permits. If one can get a six month visitors visa then maybe I CAN do something.
Anyone have any ideas?

Teaching English
There are many things that I am interested in. One thing though has been consistent.. my desire to live and work overseas.
I have spent many hours researching the possibilities. If you hold certain qualifications then it's fairly easy to get a work permit. But, if you are an average Joe like me (I am a technical support specialst) then you can't get a work permit to save your life.
The only option that I found was the Dutch American Friendship Treaty. For over 60 years, the Dutch American Friendship Treaty has enabled USA citizens to start a business in ...<< MORE >>

I have a dream
Whenever some asks me what it is I like about my job my instant reaction is "I like to help people".
Working in technical support does allow me to help people solve problems. I find that very gratifying. It's kind of like being a doctor but if my patient "dies" I can bring it back to life.
Knowing this about myself I wonder what it is that I'm truly suppose to do with my life. I've thought of various roles I could play, my strengths and weaknesses, experiences. But I still haven't determined what my life's work will be. I imagine ...<< MORE >>

Little Things
Have you ever really and truly realized how you impact others? Even in the small everyday mundane things you, yeah you, influence others around you.
For example, here I am taking my lunch break. I drove to McDonalds, then Starbucks and stopped to get some stamps. Pretty ordinary huh.
Well, as I was waiting at the stop light on the drive back I simply hummed a made up 5 second little tune. Next thing I know I glance to the right and sitting right there was my insight. This insight was in the form of an elderly gentleman with a cheshire grin ...<< MORE >>
