In my case, living in foreign countries kind of *is* me being set in my ways. :D But I agree, it's easier to move if someone is coming with/you already know people there.

I wanted to be a journalist with this degree, and actually I could be in theory, but after working as one in Greece for two years let's just say it lost its lustre somewhat (as in, I've become so cynical about the state of the media today I never want to set foot inside a TV station/newspapers).

And teacher and translator salaries...heh. I'm currently teaching English part-time and have done some freelance translating in the past. It's somewhat reassuring to know the pay for those is not just shitty here.
