"A job you love can become a souce of depression and this may lead to thoughts of job change."
[Hope says...it is a costly business to change careers these days or to go back to College to EARN another degree. Trained school teachers-I'm speaking to you-think twice before going to a non-regulated and non-unionised country. You could develop flashbacks or Post Stress issues when returning to work in your home country, quenching your compassion, and desire to teach. It might even lead to accepting low-paid administration work and living at home with your parents as options.]
