I'm jobless now so this time its for real.
Thinking of going over to Japan to teach English for a year.
So which company won't put you into indentured servitude for them?

SK sounds like a good deal but I'm not as interested in living there as I am in Japan. I've been to Tokyo before and thought it was great. I've never been to SK before but haven't heard that many great things. I heard the food there is terrible (kimchee, raw beef, beef beef beef every meal).
I've been to China before several times and after the novelty of buying fake watches and Prada wallets wears off it is a terrible, terrible place.
I am kind of at a crossroads right now and am trying to decide what to do with my life.
I'm not very interested in doing graphic design anymore and pretty much every design job requires you to know web and since I'm not interested in design anymore I don't want to learn web.
I'm also thinking about joining the military and going to officer training school because I have a bachelor's degree but I'm getting to the age where doing that is almost silly (I'm 29).
I have also applied for the US Border Patrol but that takes months for your background investigation to go through and I'm applying for a city cop job tomorrow but those jobs aren't easy to get either unless you've lived a sheltered life at home until the age of 25 and you've never had a speeding ticket in your life. I took a polygraph too for a corrections officer job but got DQ'd because I didn't show up to thing prepared ("when was the last time you had a speeding ticket" "um, uh I think it was a year and a half ago" "thats not what you said on your application, you said one year and 7 months ago" "oh... sorry") so yeah I didn't get that job but that would have been really shitty anyways.
the reason I'm going for all these kind of jobs is because I'm looking for something exciting, stable and with good benefits.
teaching in Japan is something I've thought about for awhile too and now I have the chance to do it so maybe I will.

UPDATE: gonna take the ASVAB next week and see how well I can fare in the Army. Hopefully I can qualify for a satellite communications job or something and do that for four years then get out and work for DirecTV or something and make $70k per year.

because I have a bachelor's degree I'm going to see if I can get into OCS...
apparently you have to get a pretty high score on your ASVAB tho (I'm terrible at math and haven't done any algebra/geometry in over 10 years since high school) so that might not be an option at first. theres also some physical requirements that I might not meet quite yet (2 miles in 17 minutes, 52 sit ups in 2 minutes, 42 pushups in 2 minutes) that I'd probably have a better shot at once I've gone through basic and am back in shape so OCS might have to wait for now.
I'm not really interested in the Reserves right now because a.) its for 6 years and that just seems like a really long time and b.) I need something full time right now because I can't find any kind of job where I live. I kind of want to just throw myself into it 100% and do it for 4 years and see where I'm at after that.
Air Force is an option... it all just depends on what I get on the ASVAB and what kind of jobs I qualify for with the Army. I have quite a few friends in the AF and from what they say it sounds pretty easy but I think I'm a little more drawn to the Army. but if the Army can't do anything for me the AF is the next place I was gonna look. Not really interested in the Navy however the Coast Guard would be my third choice.
