seeking more guidance from my fellow DUers

[Zech Marquis]

ok, here's my situation, and NO it's not anything bad to be honest. I'm in the midts of charting the next stages of my life, so wihout further delay....

I need to complete one lusy, stinking math course to have my college diploma (offically) So i brought a big old algebra book and have started to go over this stuff. My main causes for :puke: are word problems, fractions, and just geting it all back in form inside my head :) I want to take the course this summer, and head off to Japan when I'm all done with it.

Speaking of which, because I do have quite a background in Japanese language and culture, I do want to get a job there. I know that the It certification classes aren't the so called guaranteed way t success anymore (thanks to outsourcing) BUT..should I look into it anyway, as I'll be in Japan? I'm a techno geek anyway :evilgrin: might as well show that I'm actually trained for it...

My SO just brought a house..in China. (Yunnan to be exact) I called her and there's quite an echo, so i asked her to take some photos of it. She has offered to help me find a job there...but I have to finish that stupid math class first :grr:...it's pretty cool knowing that I actually have a home waiting for me--ME!! That's why I'm buying an iBook, since I can't let go of DU of curse :evilgrin: My SO/wifeis an university teacher at a Chinese college, so she's well spoken and must be doing well to buy a house. Should I go?...right now after I finished my business here, I could work in Japan and be able to "fly home" to China...any married guys want to knock some sense in me? Any hinese and.or Asian American Duers want to give any advice? You can PM if you prefer.

1. Just an opinion, but...

I think you should finish the class, then join your lady in China. Long-distance relationships are just too difficult to make work, IMHO. I know there are exeptions, but, I think the overwhelming majority tend to fail. If you're together, you can both begin working toward your futures together, helping each other. Maybe after a little time in China, you'll both be able to land jobs in Japan, if that's really where you want to be.

2. and besides

how many other opportunities like this will come along? Go for the math class and then your partner and China. Sounds pretty excellent to me.

3. Go for it... finish the class

As a psyc major, math had me so screwed up that I actually went to a hypnotist shrink to get me motivated. It worked & I finished my required courses..... You can do it, amigo.
