I’ve been interested in east Asia for years. It started in 8th grade and progressed over the years into the music, culture, movies, fashion, etc of Japan, China, and South Korea. I am now 18 going on 19 so it’s been a while and it isn’t just a fleeting thing.

Since I was a child I’ve wanted to be a nurse. Even now I enjoy cleaning/dressing wounds.

I wonder if I want to major in International Studies with a minor in Asian Studies. I want to teach English in Asia for a 1+ years after I get my Bachelor’s (the degree can be any subject). Then I’d like to maybe get my Master’s and teach Asian history/culture at the uni level here in America.

If I became a RN, would that 1+ years away affect my remembrance/skills as a nurse? Would I have to do self-study during that time? I’d like to travel, how is vacation time for RNs? What is the market for a prof. of Asian studies here? Does it depend on where you live? Also, what other careers would a Intl. Stuides major be good for?

About me… I get bored with doing the same old thing for too long, so I want a job that can give me some variety. I have a family I need to support. I want to be able to leave work and be finished (i.e. not have to take work home with me) each day. I have a lot of different interests. I **** drama and things that are too money driven (i.e. sales, private schools). I am good at picking up new languages (I speak intermediate Spanish, beginner to intermediate Korean, and sign language). I like acting. I would like to have enough time off each year to go on vacation. I like to travel. I am currently working as an English Teacher in South Korea in my own private tutoring business. I keep the books for the business which I kind of enjoy. I would keep doing that job, but I want to be back in North America (I am from Texas). Can anyone lend me some advice? Thanks a million in advance.
