Decisions, decisions

So I am thinking about extending my contract in South Korea until mid-December. Here are the reasons why it would be a good idea

this is my opinion: the pros for coming home in july will all still be there in december (except for the summer, haha, but its not like there will never be another summer in MI). i think that spending four more months there would definitely NOT be a failure, its ridiculous to think that having a decent paying job and living on your own in a foreign country for ANY amount of time would be considered failing. Also, it would make more sense to just extend this opportunity, instead of coming back and wanting to go again... I can see how you think you are just putting off making a decision but its not like you are going to stay there for another year and 4 months will give you more time to save money, which is sensible.
Anyways, thats my two four cents...

You know my thoughts and feelings on this situation

you'll regret less what you did than what you didn't do

I say follow your heart, if you're having fun in Korea and it makes you happy, stay; if you'd be happier surrounded by friends go home [/simplistic/non-monetary view, haha. I've learned volumes in the past year about going this route, without getting into great detail: while it isn't always the path everyone wants you to travel down, it is exhilirating. Do what makes you feel alive.]

i agree. do what you know you will be happier doing. even tho i am biased and want you to come home i will support whatever you do. i mean shit ur only in ur 20's. live it up! do whatever ur heart desires. (that last line really sounds like a disney movie line,if it already isnt)

It does look good to potential employers if you stay at a job longer (as long as you're productive, etc.), but if you want to come back, then come back. You'll have a year's experience teaching abroad and a Master's degree. That should count for something.
