[quote=Anonymous]I spent my 20s living the good life in France.  My job was ending and I had no prospects and did not want to go back to the US. I was despondent.  Then suddenly not one but two offers materialized:  the first was for a super-high paying, long-lasting, non-teaching job at an international organization in Geneva, the second was teaching French at the American school in Rome for one year for a maternity leave replacement.  I had never lived in Italy but had studied Italian and wanted to improve it.  I saw that as the bold, adventurous choice.  I had been in France for a number of years, spoke French well and would be able to continue to live in France with the first offer.  The location was only two hours away from where I was then living.  I saw that as the safe choice.  In the end I went with the money.  It was a grown-up job. I bought a car.  It was a beautiful area.  I had a great time.  I don't regret my choice at all but often think about what kind of life I would have had had I picked the job in Rome.[/quote]
