Culture Shock

[pengueehime]

I came back to Japan for one week in America last Tuesday and I'm feeling some major culture shock. :( I hope it goes away soon. I hate feeling like this. I just kind of feel like what is all the point?? :( Maybe it isn't a culture shock issue as much as it is a job thingy issue. What's the point in being able to speak Japanese of I can't use it

What type of work would you be interested in?

I guess I'm interested in almost anything where I could use Japanese. Ideal would be something to do with study abroad/international education. I just don't know, though, haha. It takes a lot to get started up in a new country and going home would make me have to do that all from scratch again.

Have you thought about a government job http://www.state.gov/m/fsi/tc/79765.htm

Thanks for the link, but I don't really want to work at an NGO or anything that is involved with 'relief' for other countries. It's depressing and the pay is horrible. I'll keep at my current job (student loans don't just pay themselves) and maybe I'll move back home or to something else within Japan. I don't know.
