Thanks for the advice . I left some of the more pertinent information off just to maintain privacy . I was looking into the medical field . I replied to another poster about being qualified as in scored the test well enough to be a combat medic in the US army . I ' m not really looking for army training , but paid training and free school afterwards is very attractive . And you ' re right , change for the sake of change isn ' t a good thing . I visited Ireland a few years ago when my sister was studying there abroad , but I didn ' t experience much . I am in the beginning stages of planning a trip to the island , but these goals of mine are long term . I could get there and hate it . But I could just as likely get there and love it . I ' m not looking to navely rush into a big change , but I was looking for advice on how to responsibly start a plan of action . Anyway thanks for your advice !
