Tourists alert, don’t rent a car unless you want to be threatened and robbed

We rented a car to go to the pyramids from CDMX airport. We got stopped immediately by what we now know was a fake police officer. He threatened us and demanded we pay, took all our money which was $500 usd. It was horrible and we just returned the car and gave up on the trip so we’re out about $6590 with nothing to show for it. Never had a worse experience travelling across the world for ten years. EDIT: I know now I’m an idiot and everyone thinks I deserved this for renting a car and agreeing to pay the guy. I’m an American, I’m sure that will make you guys hate me more but I thought maybe the corruption was a trope and didn’t want to buy into the negative narrative about Mexico. Won’t do it again and just made the post to prevent others from making the same mistake.

Advice on what job to take? (Not seeking job seeking advice on offers)

Hi I am fresh out of grad school as of last week. I have three job offers, and was wondering what you guys thought. I know to each their own and everyone has different priorities etc but just want feedback ! ( I am in the substance use field so they all pertain to that, I like working with adults but open to kids) Details are below

Job 1: $68k Salary, 15 days PTO, insurance and 401k . One hour commute each way. M-F This is a private insurance residential rehab, very fancy, maybe a little too professional, I am a bit rough around the edges, like to joke around etc. Campus is absolutely gorgeous and the clientele is not low income of course, so case mgmt is not a necessity ( I did a lot of this during grad school might be a relief)

Job 2: $65k Salary, 15 days PTO, insurance and 401k 30 minute commute. Similar to first job in terms of private pay residential, but adolescents 14-17. It's a 45 day program. Very nice, pool, petting zoo, the works. Only issue is its Tues-Sat, not used to this schedule.

Job 3: $68k Salary, 15 days PTO, insurance. 25 minute commute, this is the outlier. this is a 15 bed mens sober house, court mandated. No frills, a little dirty inside, and bad part of town. This ones kind of at the bottom of my list but I do like the commute, hours and pay. Just wondering what it would be like to work not in a state funded program for once.

Sorry for the lengthy post, let me know your thoughts!
