International exchange can do a lot of good for both countries. By sharing your skills with others, while you learn from them, both they and you come away knowing more and understanding each other better.

EDIT: As for the original question... I wanted to be an Electrical Engineer when I was in Grade 12. I was NEVER going to be a teacher.

It's funny how things work out... now I'm not only having fun teaching, but probably having at least as much fun engineering as a lot of my 'geer buddies. Have a goal, but be prepared to take the opportunities life presents you.
