Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.
Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.
Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?
... one of those people that get paid to travel around and write things about each place they go to.
As for jobs at the moment, I wouldn't mind working at a library or a book store, I just need to get off my butt and ask if there are any open positions at my local library and/or book store.

... so I'm planning to become a translator on the side.
In a more realistic down-to-earth manner, I'd love to be a French teacher of some kind. Or perhaps an English-French translator. Something involving French, anyway.
This. But replace French with Spanish, German, and, if I get the chance, I'd like to study Japanese.
... right now I am working towards foreign service for the US government. Failing that, some sort of foreign consultant for whatever big firms I find.
Really, I just want to travel.
the other options I've seriously considered are in the civil service and the diplomatic service. they're magnets for history graduates, not amazingly well-paid but there's a chance to work your way up the ladder. the upside to the diplomatic service is a chance to travel abroad, but the downside is that I'd probably get posted to Bumfuckistan for years before getting transferred anywhere interesting.
aw bollocks. well, I guess I have to start learning all that jazz then. :DCivil/diplomatic service is also all about networking and connections, I'm afraid.
