Leaving a good paying gig to teach english? Wouldn't that set me back career wise when I'm done?

" Such as learning how to brand yourself so that people know you are the subject matter expert of a skill set, understand power, influence, and especially persuasion, become a good presenter, know how to negotiate, and know your etiquette in a business setting in the office, lunch/dinner, and...
I am not interested in Australia at all.
@beej67:
I took french immersion in school so with a refresher I think I could come up to speed in the language but I'm not sure if the needs of Haiti fit my skill sets, although that does sound interesting to work there. What is wat/san?
I am getting...
I was born and raised in Canada but my family is from one of those countries so yes I can speak the language in at least one of the places....but I wouldn't want to go there, only because my extended family is part of the underclass, and they'd expect too much. I know there are western english...
IRstuff,
They're not mutually exclusive.
They're plenty of countries in the world that are not attractive to foreigners for work and living but have warmer weather than Canada ...
Like say Pakistan, Iran, Iraq, Columbia, Suriname, Cambodia, many parts of Africa...
I'm not a nuclear engineer...
I would be interested in going to places where others wouldn't be interested in going to either, provided that the weather is better.
I just need to know where to start. When I see a lot of jobs posted online, even for the States, they mention either being a citizen or a permanent resident and...
Background:
By degree, an Electrical Engineer.
Work experience has been mainly in designing control systems for industrial automation.
Currently, a Probabilistic Risk Analyst in the nuke industry. Hate it.
I'm an engineer in Canada, with 6 years of experience. I'm not unemployed but I'm getting bored of living here. I've travelled for work extensively, spent some time with my company in Asia and the States so I have some experience with working else where. I want to know how I can look for and be...
I've always wanted to leave but never had the courage to, and being fortunate enough to be employed in engineering work since graduating has also made it difficult.
It just seems like there's easier ways to make a good living and if your passion isn't engineering, it only makes sense to pursue...
Well I am not so much concerned about the work being interesting part, as much as I am concerned about learning something of value that can complement my previous experience.
On another site, I asked the same question, and the person's response was that PSA will bore me to tears and I will learn absolutely nothing. :| Now I am having second thoughts.
Hamish,
I was curious about what you thought about the merits of PSA with respect to gaining experience that could be relevant down the road for work in operations, given your background in Nuclear Safety (according to your profile)?
I am just hoping this experience will not pigeon-hole me but...
Thanks Hamish, I am actually in Canada. I am leaning towards taking the new position, as I hope it will give me a better understanding of the plant. I wonder if it actually will though? And if I go back into the I&C world, I'll have increased my value. I don't know though. I know I am going to...
Thanks everyone for your responses. From what I've read PRA in the Nuclear industry in my jurisdiction is used extensively in the licensing process. There appears to be a demand for it, which could grow if new plants are built or older plants are refurbished.
I know it'll be a huge change from...
