Something Awful changed the entire course of my life. I did my student teaching in the fall of 2010, and in the fall of 2011 I finished my Masters in education to be a social studies teacher, but didn't get a teaching job over the summer, after about a half dozen in-person interviews. So it was go back to the supermarket deli for 8.50 an hour because no school system near me had sub opportunities, or just go to something stupid. And there were several threads in Ask/Tell and Tourism and Travel that I liked to read: Peace Corps threads, USA Jobs stuff, and the China/Korea/Japan/Taiwan ones, so I knew that going abroad and doing something, probably an ESL teacher was an idea. And after reading all of those threads, I knew that Taiwan would be my first choice if I could get a job there. Almost 9 years later, I'm still in Taiwan, teaching social studies like I wanted to in the first place, and married, planning to have a kid next year (if everything goes right.) I have no idea what my life would be like now if I hadn't been reading SA to know about this kind of stuff.
