To go or not to go

My situation at the moment is this.

I've finished my counselling course,but can't find a job.I don't want to work in banking,I can't seem to get a job as a teaching assistant despite my charity work,degree,and experience working with children.
the job situation in the uk is 2.56 million,that's the people claiming unemployment.The actual figure could more,it doesn't include people claiming sickness benefit,students,people living in a couple where one works the other doesn't and people in training schemes.

I need money for a masters,but cannot take out a loan till I am employed.my dad has been made redundant,mums job is in the balance,I feel a failure that I can't help out.
My sister no longer talks to the family,including me ( thats a whole other story) so the pressure to be more then self sufficient,help my parents is frustrating.

I'd love to move to London to pursue my career however,this requires money plus the economy being the way it is it's a risk finding a job

So,what is the solution? The only way I can think of getting the finical aid I require is teaching English in Korea.within a year I could do bits of travel,save and work with kindies which I love.

Why Korea and not Thailand? Korea will pay for my flight out and back,pay me enough so I can save,help with medical insurance,free housing.

Thailand pays very little id be able to live there have a better living then the locals, but i wouldn't be able to save no flight,etc.

The problem? it's Korea! when I went before it was horrible,mainly due to my ex,I was deeply in love with him he told me I was the best thing to happen to him before I got on the flight cried etc.the next 2 months I spent working to pay off my flights and get back home.everyday I cried because I couldn't be with him.( theres way more to this story I'll blog about it later).this plus the culture shock,not knowing anyone out there,was just too much.

Truth is I'm scared it will happen again not the ex factor, but the lonely isolation. There is a large teacher community but how do I socialise with them? As a single person not there with friends,its hard. I thought about joining meet up groups and such.

This requires much thought.

I took this image while I was there before. At this moment I felt extremely lonely. This I felt captured that moment.
