As my signature says, I recently finished my BA in English and even more recently completed a CELTA at IH Barcelona. I now have NO idea what to do.

I would ideally like to stay in Spain, preferably near the coast. Barcelona is great but I am worried that I won't be able to get a job there. Madrid seems like an easy place to find work (I have already been offered a part-time job there... albeit a suspicious sounding one) but a less desireable place to live. I return to Barcelona on January 5th.

What I really want is for someone to tell me exactly what I should do with my life. Any offers?

Sure, I'll give it a shot! Shocked

For what it's worth - in my experience, it's really rare for anyone to walk into the ideal job/new home/etc. Go where you think you want to be. Take the best job and apartment/house you can find. Then, get to know the place, people, job market, etc. After a little time, you'll be in a position to start angling for the 'ideals.' Or, maybe you'll find that you want to relocate and start the process over again. In any case, you'll be working on track for your 'perfect' situation. I hope you find it!! I've had mine on and off over the past years....am working on yet another ideal for the future.
