    Hi all,

    I've been offered a job abroad and i'm in the limbo whether to accept it.

    I'm not sure if i have the balls to do it and it's not exactly a close country.

    Has anyone got any definitive question I could ask myself to help persuade me to go or am I making excuses to stay in England?

    Cheers

    Honestly mate, if you've got no very good reasons to stay (ie kids in school) then do it. What's the worst that could happen? You hate it, and come back. But on the other hand, it might just change your life.

    Does she get to come with you? If you're going anywhere in Eastern Europe she'll soon be your ex anyway.

    Even if you only go for a year you'll come back speaking completely fluent Spanish, and I mean fluent to a level that most English people can only dream of. What a great thing to have on your CV.

    Go for it then before your body packs up and you sit in your couch at forty regretting it.

    Will ask her if she knows it. What are you going to be doing? Anything else you want to know?

    Are you actually qualified to teach football?


    If the offer is too good to be true, it probably is
