Ah I see, well you've really thought it through by the sound of it so I'm sure that it can all work out for you
I've never been to the USA, but California is definitely on my list of things to see before I die
It seems really unfair that one year can blot your record like that, hopefully it'll get put to rights.
Japanese is really interesting! Would you travel there? Do you want to teach it or translate/interpret? In any case there are lots of transferable skills that you'll learn (and learn to blag about during job interviews for almost anything).
Nope, just history from age 18-21! But of course there's too much to focus on all at once. I ended up studying medieval Britain, early Cold War Europe, Ancient Athens and Malaysian/Sri Lankan religious conversion. Ancient Greece was certainly my favourite topic! I had a wonderful teacher, his room was littered with cricket posters, sherry glasses and 19th century books. It was a good place to learn
My training contract is a 3-year full-salary job, during which I get sent off on college course and learn all about accounting, taxation, business law and management, etc. It's very useful, although I do feel it's very repressive in some ways. There's no way to expand your mind, challenge old ideas and develop new ones, be creative, etc. But we all need to find a living wage somehow, right?
