Next Step?

I am very unsure of my life right now. I'm not sure where I fit in, or where I even want to for that matter. I long to return to Istanbul, the city is calling to me. :) I have applied to a position teaching children in a private school, but I have yet to hear back from them since my phone interview. I'm hoping for the best: that they accept me and that the salary they offer me will be what I need to justify going back there... ;) Those who have spent significant time in another world will understand me when I say that I just feel incomplete not being there. The other choice that I am deciding between (other than staying here) is S. Korea. The money would be good, and the benefits are great (prepaid airfare, single accommodation, a larger foreigner community, at least 2000 a month) but the question I keep asking myself is why I would want to start over. I would be starting over in so many ways. I had just begun to come to terms and understand the culture quite a bit (at least I was used to being stared at like a piece of meat all the time by the men... ha) and really have a desire, and a good foundation, for learning the language. I have a few friends there. Starting over in all of those respects seems like a harder task than what I'm up for at this point.
There's also the option of staying here. Being with my family is great, but that in itself can't be the only thing keeping me here... it's not really enough. My job is crap, I have too many bills to afford the things that contribute so much to my happiness being the highly independent person that I am: having a car of my own, a place of my own and being surrounded by the things that make me feel like me. So basically, barring the incredible miracle that a job opens before me that will allow for me to be happy about something in my life other than that I'm near my family, I think that this option is out of the running at this point. Now, I'm up for suggestions, job offers, or even large monetary gifts... let me know if you have any of the above to offer. ;)
So all of that said, this brings me back to where I was at the beginning. Waiting to hear from the school, hoping and praying that I'm starting in the right direction. ?
