The guy who got me to stop here in Seville
had gotten laid off, after 14 years with Apple.
In Silicone valley.
He was obsolete.
What does "equity" really mean?

I think we scared off the OP.
It is safe to come back. We just need to know more about you before we can offer any advice.
I think they're just living up to their handle. Andantin0 would perhaps have been a better choice.

Well, i have had a suspicion for a while, that LP employ people to start "discussion topics" in the forums, then leave everyone else to discuss the issue.
It could be true, because it is typical of how the BBC operates, in their local radio, talk shows etc etc.
ricky - If LP or BBS was going to do that, don't you think they would suggest better thought out questions that would reveal the benefits of the website? I think this is just what it appears to be, a 28 yo female NYC resident who is tired of living in 'the city' and wants to see something of the world. One day at work she was bored, so she posted something on the TT and then forgot about it.
Typical American, she probably never thought it necessary to give enough information to be helpful, never considered that she needs permission to live and work in other countries and probably has no travel experience except getting from Brooklyn to Manhattan by subway.

Yeah. I did sound like an "I wanna go if she's goin' "
Poor saps. They don't know how easy it is. Most expats (I think) move on or go home in two years.
Other saps hastily buy a house, in the first place they give a chance to. Without knowing the iffy parts of it.

Well, if the OP isn't going to respond with necessary details, I'll hijack - Aus citizen, 23, registered high school English teacher in NSW - holder of Bachelor of Arts, Master of Arts (Children's Literature), and Bachelor of Teaching (post-grad entry, thank god I didn't have to do the whole damn thing!) Is there anything I can do in an exciting, exotic location without going bankrupt? (No marrying solely for money, thanks). Primarily English-speaking with smattering of bad Italian (better at reading and writing it, everyone talks too quickly), and excellent non-verbal communication including frantic hand gesturing.
jayepony - yes. You can become an international school teacher. There are tons of international schools looking for teachers in all sorts of exotic locations. Some pay better than others. Most provide housing and insurance and a variety of other benefits. Look for posts on this branch by purpletreefrog who has been teaching for some years now, first in China and now in Japan.
There are Australian schools all over Asia and there are American and British curriculum schools all over the world.
