I'm currently on the fence about whether I should re-sign for a second year. The thing is, I don't have much to go home to. It's part of the reason I came here. Many of my friends are getting older and married with children and just don't want to go out and do as much as we used to when we were younger. My family is fairly scattered around the country. Lastly, I doubt anyone back home is eager to hire me and pay me $50,000/year and set me up with a nice company car. So, meh, I'll stay here until I think of something better. Razz

[quote="Atavistic"]If you go home and find that you fit in exactly the same as you did before you came here...well, it seems to me that you've just turned into a stagnant person with a stagnant personality. Congratulations!! Rolling Eyes[/quote]



What?...sorry but three years living overseas dosen't equate to me being any better than my friends who have chosen to live back home and do their own thing. I don't quite get the whole stagnant bit, care to elaborate? Question
