Re: Working/moving abroad
I'm gonna quit quoting several posts to write answers as I usually hate it myself if other people do it cause it makes it so hard to read, in my opinion.
Zhukov:
Canada and scandinavia are a bit too cold for me, I got an oppertunity to go work for a multinational that does alot of work in finland (i think it was finland, could be wrong) but I didn't because I already think it's too cold here in Belgium.
viC:
1: I realise for work that the language of the country isn't so important, but I think socially living in a country where you don't understand anything they say can be quite depressive. Even asking directions to somewhere can be quite frustrating I think. Traveling around and soaking up culture sounds great, but I'm afraid we live in a society where it would be punished more than rewarded. Let's say I'd travel around for a while picking up random jobs in random countries. At a certain point I'd like to settle down, but when I do I'll have troubles getting a steady job that pays enough to feed a family etc I think.
2: The thing is I don't mind being an average ITer, it doesn't bring stress with it and it pays enough to live outside my work. If I were to specialise into something I'd get more money and less time to spend it. I'm just not that kind of person.
Thanks again for all the replies, you're a helpful bunch <3
