I immigrated to the states when I was 6 and have lived in NJ/NY all my life. I’ve visited Korea twice in recent years and I loved it in a way that I felt a weird sense of belonging? I grew up in a not so affluent city with racism not so out of the norm there during that time and having moved out to a nicer area in NY after college and settling in the corporate world, I also felt like I didn’t belong. So naturally, when I stepped foot into Korea I felt like I fit in for once. I’ve always had a longing and love for Korea and Korean culture so I kept my Korean citizenship for the longest. Not to mention, I have a number of health issues and I thought that maybe the Korean citizenship would give me an option to get treated there with better technology and lower cost if anything bad happens. Next month, I am having to decide whether I should naturalize or continue to keep my Korean citizenship. Honestly, if I could move there tomorrow I would. But being in my mid-thirties, I’m not sure I can even find a decent job with my sub-par Korean. People tell me I can always teach there but I know that has become super saturated. I don’t know if I’m delusional in thinking I can actually land a well paying job with my sales/ecomm background or if I should just naturalize and accept that my life is here.
