I briefly thought about teaching overseas, but have no clue how to get into that. I'm trying to get some info from a coach on how to make a move overseas for a job in my field. Spain would be my dream location. I think people are more down to earth over there and I would love to find a Spanish woman to settle down with and have a family before I'm too old. But you're right, I do need a drastic change, only this time in a positive way. I've had too many negative drastic changes. I mean, in the last 5 years, I've lost my Father, a pet, 4 jobs, and a marriage. Its too much to handle.

Spain's unemployment rate is 24% right now. I would forget about Spain. I lived in Spain, I love Spain, but with a 24% unemployment rate I know who the jobs will go to.
HOWEVER, I would NOT forget about Asia.
Before you do anything though (and I apologize for not reading this entire thread), I'd get a handle on what is going on. If it's depression, I think it's time for medication and therapy and maybe even more. I speak especially to your job situation.
I've lost my father and I'm divorced. I survived both. But four jobs in five years (unless you had bad luck and were laid off) merits further exploration. If you'd care to share. It could be the result of depression in which case my advice would be to address that before anything.
