Scotto --- take Raoul's advice and get that degree --- that last class might be a pain in the ass but will be well worth it.
It took me 17 years (no laughing you guys!) to finish my B.S. --- like lots of people, had to work my way through school and, often times, career came fist so I put finishing my degree on the back burner.
I plan on heading to China next Fall and hope to be teaching at a university --- I have my sights on some of the "off the beatean path" places like Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia and Heilongjiang.
Take your time going through the posts here on the Saloon --- a wealth of information (the good, bad and the ugly) on everything you can imagine. You will find the people here are civil and, for the most part, act like grown-ups.
Seriously --- if you can't find an answer to a question on here --- ask it.
All the best and keep all of us posted as to where you eventually land.
