I tried calling my DoS and Bureau of Commission, but the machine said they have no representatives for the apostilling department, so I'm hoping to get some specific answers here.

I am in PA, and I have my notarized photocopy of my diploma and my criminal background check online.

1. I don't need to get my CBC notarized, right? Does it matter if it's printed in color?

2. Should I use a standard envelope and fold the documents or a large envelope? I guess it would be returned in a standard envelope anyway.

3. Can I send them together and use 1 money order for $30? (Each document fee is $15)

4. I need to include a return envelope. Should I add postage to it?

5. In my final envelope, I should have:

- notarized photocopy of diploma

- criminal background check

- 1 request form

- 1 money order of $30

- 1 standard return envelope

I couldn't find specific answers to my question, so I'm hoping someone here knows the answers. Thank you

I feel paralyzed and lost in life right now. I have some desire to teach english in Korea for 1-2 years, but would this be a bad move for me?

I'm a 23F US citizen and half-Korean for reference. I have visited before, but only briefly, and I really enjoyed it.

Why I want to go:

- just graduated last Dec
- I'm having trouble finding a job in the states
- this would be my only chance to experience Korea before I start a real career
- I want to experience the culture
- I want to learn Korean
- I want LASIK in Korea
- I feel like the experience would improve me or help me find a direction in life

Reasons I feel I shouldn't go:

- I'm worried it will make getting a job later more difficult, and it feels like a career setback
- poor pay, and I would like to make some money
- I don't speak Korean (although I can understand some)
- I wouldn't move back and begin my first full time job until I'm 24/25

Other Misc. Questions:
- how would I get my prescriptions in Korea or ahead of time?
- Could I start during the second semester of the school year (in August), or would I would I have to wait til March?

My dad died within the same couple of weeks as my graduation, and I've been depressed and my twiddling my thumbs since then, half-heatedly applying to jobs in the states (without luck). I have this unbearable feeling in my chest that my life is slipping away, and I'm rotting alone at home with no friends or social life.

I have a shitty degree so I likely couldn't find a very well paying job in the states, but it would still be marginally better than what I'd make in Korea as a teacher, and I could probably move up in a company to make more over time. I'd be giving up that money and experience that would probably make my future easier.

I know the process to applying for teaching jobs is not that difficult (like getting a TEFL cert, resume photo, etc.) but my depression is making everything hard. Once I have structure (like a job), I can do it everyday and be functional. But having nothing that I actively need to do really demoralizes me from doing anything.
