Yeah, I see what you mean. It's hard to establish yourself somewhere just to uproot and go wander about for awhile. I'm very much where you'd be at that point, being 28, just out of school, and ready to establish a career. Only I think you'd have a lot more invested by going to Berlin and finishing school there than I did here.
Its a bit of a risk to invest so much time, energy and money in doing it. But then again, I seriously want to get out of this country and I do think its going to be worth everything. And if not, Im just really screwed.
