Hi Whitney,

Actually I think that the people in the tourism field here in BG are better paied than those in the education,but of course it all depends on the tourist agency that you possibly will be working for.. etc.My salary is the worst poible( it's enetry level),because here the scientists from the Bulgarian Academy of ciences are with the lowest possible salaries in the education field,but the situtation in the universities isn't much better.Let say that a professor in university can earn no more than 1000 leva (about 700 US dollar)  and this includes a lot of yeras practice and so on.....Only poeple from the  so called IT sector are well paied in BG and the worst paied as I said are the teachers,the doctors,the scientists......

But Bulgaria has beautiful seaside,amazing mountains,so there's always need for gooe tourist manager :).And not to forget that you can start your own tourist agency and to be the boss :),why not?! 
And in the end,all the written above will possibly explain you why a lot of Bulgarian want to emigrate (to US also) and it kind of strange for us why an American like you would want to move here.I vote  for the LOVE of course!So follow you heart.....
