I posted my story a day or two ago. Drop me a line with any questions. In general, if I were you, i'd pick up Lee Lovett's book, read it, contact him, and start following the process. There is no reason you can't become a great sociologist, teacher, or journalist. The world needs passionate people in all of those fields. And by the way, very cool about being multilingual. The ability to speak multiple languages is, in my opinion, increasingly important. I anticipate that your ability in languages will pay dividends as you move forward in life and your career.
