Thanks Hank! I'm making pretty decent money in my IT job now. My company recently announced they are moving to Plano Texas so that pretty much put a timeline on things for me. I figure I'd finish up my OW (I'm doing it now) then take a few specialty courses while staying around here for a bit longer while saving as much money as possible. I've got a decent sum saved (outside of my retirement funds) at the moment. I am also a 30 year old male with no wife/kids/mortgage. Do you think it wise to just move over there and start taking classes with no employment lined up? I guess south Thailand would be fairly cheap and I would assume you could do the classes cheaper than here. I could always make a bit of income online as well. The only problem is my student loans will have to start being paid in a year or so. Other than that, I'm debt free.
I've traveled abroad a few times before and each time was the best I've ever felt in my life. I need the escapism. I have also always been a huge fan of anything that has to do with the water. Skiing, jet skis, para sailing, snorkeling you name it, I'm into it.
All I know is, the office is soulless and I seek more adventure.

Oh and BTW, I just got back from my dive center, I pulled the trigger on my MK25/S600 regulator set, Knighthawk BC and Galileo Luna dive PC. I'm in deep now!
