How many of you agree with me?

Question

I think it is very stupid for a Thai girl (ME) to get a job in Washington DC. Agree or Disagree.

I know I am quite crazy and insane when it comes to these types of discussions. But I am a nationalist and want to be in Thailand.

NO NO NO

Regardless of what you are saying--I still want to go back home! Therefore, you should give me an answer that I want to hear and best answer will get 10 points... lol :)

Answer 1

I think you go back home to Thailand first. Maybe staying in your own nation for a couple of months I guess you can feel if you want to go back to Washington and work. If you decided to work in Washington then dont ever feel you are stupid or insane of the descision.  Its a matter of being practical because in Washington you will earn more compare to Thailand (Because of currency rate).

Answer 2

Everyone can go to a place she/he wants..even what nationality you are...If your heart tells you that you want to go to Washington D.C.and there is an opportunity for you GO but if it tells you to stay, STAY. It is hard to go to another place far from your family and needs to adopt to another culture...Good Luck>>>>

Answer 3

Honestly?

Best if you go your separate ways.  

I know you love him and all that good stuff, and I know he loves you too.

However, I think this is one of those things where if you stay there, you will resent him for what you have given up (being with your loved ones and so on).  If he comes here he will always tell you how much money he would be making in the states...

I know, people will goof on me for saying it, but its just my opinion.

Answer 4

well there is obviously alot of history here that I am missing as there is no mention of bf or babies in the ?

and you seem quite confused and I can understand and sympathize - and as you know, the answer must come from within - so, here is the method for you to decide...

Flip a coin - and it is not the coin flip that will decide the answer, but when it is in the air, you will know which one you are rooting for...

Answer 5

I have never been to Washington DC, and therefor can only comment in a general sense. The lifestyle in Washington DC is totally different from what you can expect in Thailand, and if you speak with many Thai people who have relocated either for love or work; it becomes quite obvious that the culture shock can be very big.

Many Thai people do emigrate and are very happy, but if you are already doubting whether it will be the right thing to do; I can only say one thing; follow you heart and move back to Thailand.

Yes I believe that for YOU it wil be stupid to get a job in Washington DC.

Answer 6

I agree with you 100%. You'd be crazy to stay in Washington D.C. Money isn't everything, there's your family to think about and your baby.   How is s/he going to be Thai growing up in the US?  Let me know if I can give you a ride to the Airport IAD or DCA I'd go as far as BWI.

Answer 7

I think you should stay in DC if you love your bf that much.  You can always fly home and visit family for a month or so.  If things don't work out between you two then you can always leave.  But you have to decided what best for you, not me or another other joker here.

<----promise I will not goof on James B remarks (this time)

Answer 8

I think life is short and you do wat makes you happy, .. remember ultimately you have to look at that person every morning... though why not try first then if it doesnt work out than come back... that way you would not have those " what if......to eat at you when youre  old...  

Answer 9

1- Job in DC: strongly disagree! I think it's great if you can get a job there. Go for it!

2- Discussions: mildly disagree. The idea is to answer questions, not really debating.

3- Nationalist: What is wrong with that? You shouldn't be ashamed to love your country.

4- Be in Thailand: of course. But home is where the heart is. Get that job, hopefully a good one, so you can visit Thailand more often.

5- Go back home: try to get over that. It won't help you out there. Make yourself comfortable, do your job well, enjoy yourself and think of Thailand once in a while.

Don't forget Thailand changes just as you will. If you stay away long, you find it very different. That goes for all long term expats, btw.

Answer 10

Seriously:

Get a job that would build a career for you there: I mean not part time; trainee, or cab driver (although the latter one make lots of money in DC but I think they speak Swahili on the Cab radio!).

DC's nice  town, depending on what you like. Make some money for something like 4-5 years: get some experiences and go to Thailand working in the same field you've done in the US. This way, you will get the executive level instantly once you're home.

Miss Thailand, come for a visit once in a while.

Coming back to Thailand now isn't that easy to find a job: not mention building a new social circle; new boy friend!

But, if you want to take that chance; still there are plenty...

I'll get back to you on that.

Answer 11

Life is all about , taking chances and the only way to find out is to follow your dreams, it sounds that you haven't made up your mind yet it is up to you. And if things does not worked out  the way you expect, you can always start all over again, you are young and have  a future ahead of you  set a goal and just go for it, you are the one, that has to make up yr mind, and remember life is kind of short, so hurry up, and  listen to your heart time is gold you can do it, i did it and i made it, i left my country Panama came to America, and ia'm glad i did, ia'm happy, got a job working as a Spanish-teacher and i do not have any regrets, so if i made it so can you. good luck, and God bless you and keep you safe.....
