I have a bachelor's in health education w/ a minor in political science and a master's degree in training & development from Texas A&M University. I work in higher education (university student affairs) and would love to find employment in that area again.

How easy is it to move from the U.S. and adjust to life in South Africa. If I liked it, I'd even be willing to give up my U.S. citizenship.

Thanks for any help you can provide!
