I would've taken a huge pay cut so I decided to stay in Canada. However, if I ever get a buyout package from work, I'll probably be on the first plane to Narita.  |
Haha, I am sorry, but I do not know what アラフォ means.
Your advice is inspiring. How do you feel about doing it at this point in your life? You have already made it clear that you would... I mean, what are your fears or anxieties, if any at all, about making a big change at this stage in your life?
I won't lie. I mean, I don't feel old or anything, but I honestly never pictured myself contemplating going now.
The pay is one of the many factors. I make a fairly nice amount here. Nothing outrageous (but by choice - I could easily be making more if I switched to a hospital or something), but a nice amount. I would hate to be making even LESS. Especially in a place where I would probably need more to survive
