I think trying out the jet program would be really cool but I recently started a job at UPS that for the most part I like. The pay is decent and I am not going to go into huge detail but there is going to be a new union contract in 2028 which usually means another pay bump. I know if I did jet now I would obviously have to leave UPS but at the same time with UPS if I wanted to next summer I could go on a vacation to Japan for like 2 or 3 weeks by myself or with a friend or family member. I am still interested in doing JET but at the same time don't want to leave ups. My big worry is that if I end up quitting ups for jet if I don't like jet i will realize I have basically screwed myself.

Back in 2021 when i was 21-22 years old I thought about moving out of my parents house but I ended up doing the math and said hell no. I currently now make 25 an hour working part time (40 hours a week plus ot if i want it) and cram all of that money into a vanguard account. Again if you have really abusive parents i would suggest moving out but in the current economy and also for much of human history moving out in your early 20s and being saddled with debt never really happened. This whole thing is a bi product of post ww2 abundance and although it sucks for the people "going through it" from someone who is on the outside looking in it is really nice to see people noticing it. Honestly I could have a really high paying job and would still not move out unless i got married and me and the wife combined the income.

I got fired in December although I was getting ready to leave they just cut it short by a few months. I start working at UPS soon for $24 an hour and so far from what I have seen it is everything I like about HD minus the shitty customers. Really looking forward to starting there.

Did some reading on what he has been up to in exile in Moscow and this was the first idea that popped into my head.

So basically in my area there are not jobs that pay enough to live on your own unless you want to live in a really sketchy area unless you have some crazy college degree or know somebody. I am in the somewhat early stages of wanting to move out and basically the 2 options are 1. Join the Air Force which is something I am totally fine with or B. Teach English in China or Japan where the rents are manageable.

The other job is also overseas and it is basically going to be whatever job can do the bureaucracy the quickest. If I get the other job offer do I just withdraw my jet application?

There is a bit of an age gap but we both met when we were in High School. I was 17 and she just turned 14. We ended up at first really hitting it off and I slowed down once I realized she was 14 and we were both fine with being friends. The year I graduated High School her mother died. I told her I would be there for her if she needed anything and once I graduated she ghosted me. I was upset for awhile but moved on for the most part because even though I wanted to be there as a friend 1. I feel like if she needed my help she would have reached out and 2. I am 18 and she is 15 and because I am not a youtuber I don't "do" minors so I just let it go.

Fast forward to the spring of 2020 she is graduating High School (now 18) and we both re connect. I literally thought I would never see this girl again in my life but we end up re connecting and throughout when she was in college we would text alot and hang out sometimes when she was home for break. Shortly after she came back I confronted her about the ghosting and she just said she doesn't like conflict when things in her life get really difficult. Anyways we both talk a ton from 2020 up until the middle of 2024 when she graduated college. Shortly after graduating college her father passed away and I felt awful. We talked a little bit after but now she is currently ghosting me again and the whole thing just sucks because I really care about her alot.

What am I walking into and also is it true that kindergartens get 2 hour breaks?

I got fired from my job afew months ago and started to slide back into my neet ways until one of my old co workers turned me onto doordash. I live in an area where i can "couch dash" (get orders from my home) and since I am a war thunder addict I will play 2 games of air arcade, do a doordash order, drive home which isn't far, play 2 games again and do another doordash order. My boomer parents who were at first against it because it is not a "real job" have slowly been coming around when I showed them my earnings.

I am going to be handing in my packet to my recruiter in a week or 2. Between when I went to meps and now I have gotten a pretty neat job offer that if I take it I would move overseas and I am honestly really tempted to take it. If I take the overseas job and do it for a year or 2 and then when I am back home re apply to the air force with improvements to my flexibility do I have a slightly better chance. The recruiter tells me that he was a bit shocked that they nabbed me for this and it is the only real thing preventing me from joining.

I am aware of the sketchy way some of them can do the paperwork and I am able to spot that. I also have 3 family members who are licensed attorney's who have offered to help me look through some of the paperwork if i get a job offer. My main point of confusion is this "location bait and switch thing" that I keep hearing people freak about when they are discussing Chinese dispatch agencies. Is it mostly somebody really wants to teach in a city like Shanghai, Beijing or Chengdu and the agency says something along the lines of we don't really have anything in those cities but we have something in some random smaller city? Also is this even an issue for me if I am comfortable with moving to a smaller Chinese city. I have enough money saved up where if it is really something that I do not like I can just quit and fly back home.

I am in this weird phase where I am probably going to be moving overseas over the next 5-6 months but could really use the extra money for the move. I got fired in December, never got the walk of shame or anything but they told me that after awhile if I wanted to i could re apply. About 2 weeks ago I was somewhat bored and ended up applying for Lot and Freight and got offered a head cashier role. I though that if I was banned from home depot or something the system would flag my ssn and email and give me an auto rejection. Should I go into the interview? I really could use the extra cash before I leave.

Currently in the process of switching careers totally. Was somewhat bored the other day and saw the loader/cart associate role. Did that for a bit at home depot when i worked there afew years ago and I liked it. What are the odds of getting hired. I also applied for lowes in January for something but didn't get the job I am somewhat assuming that was because hiring in January is super slow.

We had Obama from 2008-2016. I really liked Bernie Sanders and was hyped up by his potential and felt jibbed when they Nominated Clinton. She was so sketchy and Mango was new so I was part of the "Bernie Bro to Trump" pipeline. I ended up voting for Joe in 2020. In 2024 I thought the whole way that Kamela got the nomination was a bit sketchy but I voted for her because I didn't want Mango getting a 2nd term. Throughout the whole process I have realized a few things. 1. American is not ready for a woman president 2. I feel like Obama was an anomaly and somewhat a reaction of people being tired of Bush and Clinton types. I also think one of the reasons why Obama could run and win was because this was way before social media algorithms.

Most of the complaints on reddit that I see about English 1 is the somewhat long working hours, the fact that you have to work evenings sometimes and working on weekends. None of that really matters to me since I have worked retail (Home Depot) in the United States for the past 8 years. I also have a suspicion that some of these people might have been walking into the whole thing like a paid "vacation" to china and not a real job. Is it not really that bad if you 1. Don't mind working with children 2. Don't mind the working hours and 3. Treat it like a job. Also is there a chance if I get a smaller city that if I don't really travel or go out alot I can actually end up saving a bit of money?

Is something like this doable? I have always wanted to do a Mexico road trip and I figured that if I get the TEFL job I might as well. Also is the thing about people being sketched out by suburbans legit? One of the cars that I could end up driving down there is a 2015 white chevy suburban and the other one is a 2016 Honda Civic. Also how common is the road trip for people who are moving to Mexico to work?

I have applied to borderlink and have read some good and bad stuff however I really think I might be overthinking it a bit. When I was 16 and started working my dad made me open up a vanguard account and I have been working ever since and shove all of the money I make into that. I did the math and the interest that I make is enough to cover rent for an apartment. I am thinking that could really come in handy in August when they don't work. I loved Japan (and rural japan) when I went for a few weeks in 2024 and have always wanted to go back. Are alot of the complaints about esl teaching in Japan coming from 20 somethings who just graduated college, might have a decent amount of student debt and are broke?

When I started working when I was 17 my dad made me open a vanguard account. Fast forward to now I am 28 and am getting my 120 hour tefl certificate to teach kids English in China or Japan. I have looked at cities like Chongqing, Chengdu and Tokyo and Osaka as well as smaller cities, towns and the rural parts of those countries and I have enough saved up in the vanguard account that the interest will pay my rent for a decent sized apartment.
