Needless to say, I went back in July for a week, and I just got back 2 days ago from a 6 week visit. I honestly don't know exactly where I'm going with this, but I do know I love him. I'm 23, I just graduated from college, and I'm trying to figure out what the hell I want to do with my life.
Things would be so simplistic if we could progress our relationship like normal people...you know....get in the car and drive somewhere to go on a date, rather than board an aircraft. We were talking about either him relocating or me relocating so that we could be together. I don't really have any responsibilities here, so I have no problem moving to the DR to see how it goes. But is that the easier of the 2 options? I'm thinking that it's less stressful in terms of culture shock....I'm afraid he won't be happy here...
Also, what kind of a good-paying job can I land in the DR? I have a BA in Political Science, I'm proficient in Spanish and working on fluency. I have experience working at hotel/resorts at the beach here in Jersey, and I also have a year of teaching experience.
I'm aware that a relocation is clearly a big pain, no matter which one of us decides to do it. I just want to know which one seems more plausible. I'm a rookie at this ... not to worry, you'll be a veteran soon!!!and I was hoping that some of the old-timers could offer a few good tips.
Thanks!

As a political science graduate you're well on your way to being an expert on screwing and getting screwed. Your internship in big time politics started when you met your sankie ... like good politicans, they're good with promises, but fall short on delivery. Now you're a believer and follower in your sankie's politican campaign, go for it girl ... move there, marry him, work in a low paying job, support him then in about a year tell us how happy you are!!!
Btw, welcome to DR1 ... I hope you keep posting as your relationship 'flourishes'
