Where Do We Go From Here?

So here's the deal, I don't know which direction to take my career anymore. I don't know if I should get out of country for a little while or keep attaining more credentials. If I decide to expatriate then I'll most certainly be working strange hours and doing strange things. If I stay in America I'll be teaching. Well, either way I'm going to be teaching but in America I'll be teaching history whereas in a different country I'll be teaching English. Which sounds more appealing to me? Not sure. I don't really care for teaching ESL but I would like to see the world. I really would like to teach history but I'll most certainly be stuck in Texas. No matter what choice I make now I'll be teaching in America eventually and hopefully going to graduate school. The main problem is trying to figure out what's keeping me here. It's not people or a job. I think its fear. Fear of the unknown and the future. When I think about my future I'm really a bit frightened. There's a lot of things that could happen that I nor anyone I know can control. I used to be able to operate without that kind of fear but now I'm not so sure if I know how to handle it anymore. More thoughts to come...
