Visiting the World, as a Geek?

Han Onymous asks: "In nine months my contract as a research assistent at my Alma Mater will come to an end. It will not be renewed, I don't want it to be anyway. But outside the economy is too ill to welcome me. I am young. I am healthy. And I want to see the world before I've got the wife and the kids and the double mortgage. I have no money saved, and I don't plan to save some until then. What can a skillful geek (electrical, electronical and software engineer, speaks three languages fluently) like me do to see the world. Volunteer ? Working for a multinational with exchange programs? Something with no connection at all to the tech world? Please share your experience."

NO! Peace Corps is for suckers who need something to do. Do yourself a favor and find something worthwhile like the Red Cross.

WEEE You get to live in a crap hole country!

My bro did this for a year. The air turns yellow (he had to chip the crud off the screen) from all the pollution coming out of China.

Oh yea, and the people there suck and hate americans.

No one could pay me enuff to go visit that wormhole.
