I was kind of sort of almost but not quite offered a job, in ireland. I know a hguy who could fix me up with a job at a call center - no education rewuirted as long as I speak passable English, or so he says. Pays approximately twice whar I get in a month now - I am sure you can imagine why i am so tempted to actually give that a try.

Pros would be not having to dal with people face to face, probably reasonably flexible hours, and the whole being paid enough to make me happy thing. and, IRELAND! cons oeulf be.. phones, and the fact that it is helldesk. and actually, you know, ahving to work.

BVut then again, OI have 6 months to figure this out. or so anyweay. but think this is something to fed to the wolves the day after tomorrow.

Any opinions, guys?

I know you're planning to come to Ireland anyway...but I would hesitate on the call center job. The laws here in Ireland regarding call centers favor the employer, not the employee, and most people who take these jobs are only able to stand the pressure for a few weeks before they quit...think long hours and low wages as well as very high quotas. My understanding is that they purposely hire non-Irish people because it's easier to bully them..."If you don't do your job we'll make you go back to where you came from."

There are always exceptions to the rule...but please be careful. I would hate to see you taken advantage of.

Well, this job was recommended to me by a Finnish acwuiantance - the pay is apaprently very good, at leastby my standards it is, and the job is apparently also not too difficult in the acutally having to do something sense.

bvut donöt worry, i willd efinitley look into it as much as possible before making any decisions at all.
