I'd love to email you directly. I'm at FrenchConnection@ameritech.net. My concerns are the following: how can I find a job in France BEFORE leaving the States? Is it feasible? If not, I'm trying to muster the courage to come over like you did, even without a job. Don't have to be in Paris necessarily. But surrounded by French people - yes!! To complicate matters further, I've just started a job as I was desperate for $$$ and haven't told my boss yet that I've had this dream for so long and may quit. I'm 58, have 2 kids at university, divorced, and am trying to start a new life. Don't know if I have the courage to chuck it all and risk getting over there and not find a job. I hear work papers are almost impossible to obtain, and staying past the 90 day Visa could mean prison time! WOW! Help !! Could you PLEASE write me back? I found out about your blog thru the TESL Institute in Chicago where I may start the class. MERCI MERCI BEAUCOUP !! -LindaFrench Connectionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10025627963620524287noreply@blogger.com
