Hello internet :). I saw a previous post about the Dutch education system as a "metro map" and I was intrigued. A lot of people criticised it for a lack of accuracy, so I tried to make a more accurate one.
Please let me know if u notice any mistakes and I will fix it, but I do like the idea overall.
I think an accurate version would be very useful for internationals.
It’s completely fine if there aren’t any, I’m just curious and weighing my options.
I’ve noticed that many job postings related to China are STEM focused, so I was wondering whether there are also opportunities for someone with a social science background.
Also. I understand that learning Chinese is essentially a requirement, and I’m willing to do so. However, I realize that achieving native level fluency may not be realistic. What level of proficiency would generally be considered acceptable?
How familiar is the average person in China with Marxist concepts such as surplus value or class struggle?
Dear Reddit,
I'm looking for some advice about addiction treatment in the Netherlands.
From what I've read, the usual process is to go to your GP (huisarts) and get a referral to addiction care (verslavingszorg). If you've been through this yourself, or know someone who has, I'd really appreciate hearing what the process is actually like.
I haven't had many sober days since I was 17 (I'm 27 now). I'm a highly functioning addict, so I don't think most people realize I have a problem, but I drink at least a six-pack of 0.5L beers every night. I've also used other substances over the years, though alcohol is by far my biggest concern.
I know I need to do something about it. Part of me keeps thinking I should just rely on willpower, but I don't think that's realistic.
What should I expect? What kind of questions does the GP ask? What happens after you're referred? Is treatment usually outpatient, or do people often stay overnight? What is the stay like? And how long does one usually stay? And finally, was treatment covered by Dutch health insurance (I've read most are, but should I expect any out of pocket expenses)?
Any advice or experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
P.S. I was diagnosed with PTSD from childhood trauma and have also been medicated for anxiety, depression, and ADHD. My depression has improved a lot, but anxiety is still something I struggle with. I'm mentioning this in case it's relevant to the treatment process.
P.P.S. Sorry, ik spreek nog niet goed Nederlands.
