Hi there,
Would you 'elope' with the person you love? What if it is to a faraway country? …and you don't speak the native language, although you seem to think you can wing it- you can't!
You also wouldn't be able to find a job in your field. You love your job. So much so that you told your boss, during your performance appraisal meeting, that you couldn't believe you are actually getting paid to work there. " I would do it for free!" you added.
On the plus side, you are very good at expressive hand gestures and you look amazing in boardies.
So would you do it?
Trial it out but protect yourself at all costs before you risk everything.
