So after a long time of being in my country becoming better at stuff and finishing formal education i have decided to move abroad again. I have found some opportunities for working. I won't go full into details but I decided not to get a normal job. Instead I'll be doing a volunteer job that gives me money, food, transportation and accommodation. Propulsed by one of my friends who's already doing the same in another place.
I was accepted for Germany and i'm doing another interview for a position in Croatia on monday and i'm kinda nervous about it because i prefer the work for this one.
The Croatia one is in a small city in the coast. Looks like the perfect place to go in holidays. Beautiful beaches, clear water so on. The job will be about doing stuff that i have done before in normal life jobs and new stuff that I'm very interested in. Practical audio visual - communication stuff / that means doing everything that comes via audio and images; they have a radio, graphic studio and they conduct cultural activities in the city. A lot of fun cultural, art/music related stuff.
Now the German one which i have been already accepted is in Hamburg. It's rainy and cold which is something that I love and also it's noisy and populated which means more things to do, so I could go to punk concerts, go to see Bundesliga football matches so on. They even provide me with a bicycle for d stunts. I'm also interested in learning German.
The problem is that, the job, sadly, is not something that I'm particularly interested in and I have never done before.
It's about working with kids. So that's a bit of a con for me. I don't consider myself an empath but I am not an asshole either. I like kids, i just don't know if I will be a good fit for it because I'm the type of lazy pessimistic person who is not very proactive in terms of entertaining/taking care of other people, I suck at this type of brainstorming teamwork.
The thing about a small coast town is that I don't think there will be much to do after work. Besides chillin and swimming. Which I won't deny that by itself sounds pretty lit. Another con is that bigger cities nearby are like 3 hours away by bus.
Mind that i'm not certain about being accepted to croatia but it's known that once these people schedule an interview with you is because they think you are a good fit, so unless your room looks like you are an hikikomori you'll be fine.
My scores would be as follows:
Croatia / Germany
Job: 5/1
Free time: 3/5
Weather: 4/4 Im happiest between - 5° to 24° so this has to be a tie giving the fact that I might get bored of too many rainy days or too many sunny days
Cities nearby and connections: 1/5
So that's objectively a 13/15 to Germany. But job should be a priority. So I'm very confused about what to do. I'm not considering the accommodation because I've been shown both and I have no complaints.
I'm leaving in about 2 weeks to whatever place i decide to accept.
BTW i have already applied for these things before, last year, i was also accepted but i wasn't pleased with the locations and accomodation conditions so at the end i didn't go to any. I have been delaying this for so long, i don't really know why.
