The world really is becoming a smaller place. As I was stumbling last night, I came across two different sites, both offering overseas jobs to Americans. The first was a site where Americans with a college degree could head to Korea for a year to work as an English teacher. Wages weren’t bad, and there were lots of perks. For someone unattached wanting adventure, what a great way to see a new country! Jim and I have a friend who traveled to Japan quite a few years ago to teach, and he ended up liking his stay there so much, that he still lives there.

Teaching isn’t the only job that can give you the option to travel - in fact, there’s a huge nursing shortage. Should you wish to stay closer to home, as in, in the good ole US of A, there are plenty of hospitals begging for nurses. A travel nursing agency is able to provide you with a list of locations and pay rates, and you can take your pic. Think a summer in Hawaii would be nice? How about fall in Vermont? With a travel nursing job, you can work and play all at once.
