DEAR HARRIETTE: I find myself at a crossroads. I'm 29, and I recently lost my job at a finance company. The uncertainty of the future is overwhelming. An opportunity has recently presented itself to teach abroad in Tokyo. The idea of moving to a different country with a new culture and to teach abroad is exciting. Japan has always been a place I've dreamt of visiting, and this seems like the perfect opportunity to not only explore a new country, but also gain valuable life experiences. On the other hand, I can't get rid of the fear of the unknown. The stability of a job and the familiar surroundings I've known are slipping away, and the idea of moving to a foreign country adds an extra layer of uncertainty.
