Progress!...WAHOO!

The wheels are finally turning in motion concerning my final project. I have researched, researched, and researched different programs and agencies for newly college grads to sink their teeth into! First off, I found a great website aimed at grads looking to teach abroad. It provides information about companies who coordinate programs for English-Speaking natives to teach in Asia, Europe, and Africa elementary, middle school, and high school students. The website is called /www.transitionsabroad.com, and it has a ton of really cool information about going abroad and provides answers to many questions one might have about each program. And if teaching abroad does not sound enticing, there is also a section about volunteering or working aboard in all of the continents! I think this cite will serve as a great foundation for my own blog about alternative career choices for the new college grad. One draw back I did pick up from the site is it has SO much information the homepage can seem to be overwhelming; I didn't know where to go first! So, I am going to use this cite as an example of what NOT to do when designing my blog. Figuring out what you may want to do with your life is stressful enough, so making a clear and organized blog will hopefully serve more as a sanctuary of inspiration, rather than a hodgepodge of information. But I'm still excited about the discovery of the cite!

I'm glad you found something so useful! Are you committed to doing a blog? Or is that still up in the air a bit?

Well, at first I wanted to do a blog. However, I've been finding myself accummulating so much info that a wiki might be a better way of organizing my sources. But I still have my heart set on my blog...so I'm going to try and make that work! I might just blog about my current conumdrum!
