Welc...Eva: how nice to encounter you in this space! Welcome to my online stomping grounds.<BR/><BR/>Harold: You are so right. Reading back over my post, I realise it looks as if I'm declaring it impossible for me to find the "right place" in the UK. However, I'm sure that, were I to be able to find an environment in which I felt I could flourish, I would be singing a different song. In the interests of etiquette, I can't go into detail in this space as to what the current impediments are to that, but I have already had one job in the UK in which I worked with a wonderful team of supportive people who respected one another and liked one another as people. That counted for a lot, but I didn't see a professional future for myself in that formal learning environment.<BR/><BR/>Not to sound defeatist, but sometimes living where you want is easier said than done. If that somewhere is the USA, there is the little matter of a green card. If that somewhere is Australia, there is the little matter of getting enough points together - sadly their list of desired professions doesn't include any learning consultants :-( So it's plan B - find a way to bloom where you're planted. I haven't given up hope, and perhaps this is the wake-up call I needed!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14184878.post-70945906549503703732008-02-03T20:24:00.000+00:002008-02-03T20:24:00.000+00:00I've lived in over a dozen different places in my ...I've lived in over a dozen different places in my life and a while back a friend gave me some advice that reinforces my own experience. He said that first you should find out where you want to live. Then you should move there and figure out how you're going to make a living. Place (including culture, etc) is very important. I've had some bad jobs, but in places that I loved, and I was overall quite happy.<BR/><BR/>Maybe that's how I've been able to live the topsy-turvy life of the self-employed. I'm happy here.Harold Jarchehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11462304722726586155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14184878.post-83383758047008933942008-02-03T16:24:00.000+00:002008-02-03T16:24:00.000+00:00I so totally agree with Mr. Cross and would like t...I so totally agree with Mr. Cross and would like to thank him, very much, for expressing my sentiments.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
