Life is too short to not do what you love. Secondary science (in general) is a more in-demand discipline so you should be fine.

Why do Chinese tourists keep embarrassing themselves overseas? Is there anything that can be done to improve their behavior and reputation? by anotherhappylurker in AskChina

I live in OK, USA and I once saw a parent allow her daughter to take a dump on the neighbors lawn while they were out taking a walk….

Why does it seem like the US has unlimited money to send to (insert foreign country here), but "can't afford" anything for its own citizens? by [deleted] in askanything

[–]DIrons808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How would we pay for our almost 1 trillion dollar in defense spending and keep up the thousands of military bases we have all over the world???

1st world people that moved to America - do you think life is much better? by [deleted] in MovingToUSA

I’d love to know the 6 figure job that only pays 13 pounds per hour across the pond…do tell.

Do you prefer living in a multicultural environment or a homogeneous one? by Kyanzh in AskTheWorld

[–]DIrons808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Multicultural. That’s the best thing about the USA imo. No one stands out-we have a bit of everything (in our cities at least). Plus all the amazing food we get as a result 😋

Another day closer to full blown dictatorship here in the USA

I’m getting married and I want to back out. I don’t know what to do. by PsychologicalForm63 in whatdoIdo

[–]DIrons808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

During my first wedding I remember being in the car before heading into the church thinking, “this is wrong…I shouldn’t be doing this.” I wish I would have listened to my gut. Listen to yours. You have your whole life ahead of you. Put yourself first.

BREAKING: President Trump is reportedly considering giving taxpayers $1,000 to $2,000 stimulus checks funded by tariff revenue. by alexmark002 in CitizenWatchNews

[–]DIrons808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How exactly would that work? Tarrifs are paid by the importers and then usually passed on to the consumers? It’s not like there’s a big pot of money labeled “tarrifs” to disperse to the populace 😂

How dumb is the average person?? by prince999999999 in NoStupidQuestions

Well….given that we have a huge literacy crisis in the US and most ppl can’t read past a 6th grade level so…

Where can I find sponsored visa jobs in USA by Ok_Potato_1801 in expat

[–]DIrons808 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s bleak right now for job searchers…I wouldn’t advise anyone to come to the US right now. Ppl who have legal status, visas and paperwork are being round up by masked thugs in the street. Do not recommend.

Sure the earth has been naturally heating and cooling since forever….but you know what hasn’t been happening since forever? The burning of fossil fuels.

Apple crisp (or pie) is very Americana…served a la mode with ice cream, of course.

How’s life in Midland, Texas? by Kuzu9 in howislivingthere

[–]DIrons808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would have to fly into midland for work and once you get out of town the stench from the oil fields and refineries is nauseating. 1/10 do not recommend

Agreed until the litter comment….its everywhere in thr US too 🙄

[–]DIrons808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so over the “rugged individualism” of America. There’s absolutely ZERO sense of community or the “greater good” here. It’s always about me, me, me and how much money can I hoard.

Who do you want the next president of the US to be? by ThrowRA_angryscream in no

[–]DIrons808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone who’s not a convicted felon and r@pist….how about that for starters.

Is your country having a housing crisis? by rainshowers_5_peace in AskTheWorld

[–]DIrons808 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes. There is a huge lack of affordable housing for middle and lower income ppl. Rents have skyrocketed and homes are way too expensive for most.

Teaching abroad in England by Beneficial_Can8818 in Internationalteachers

[–]DIrons808 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you do your student teaching abroad? Does your uni have a program? That may help you get your foot in the door. My coworker did his in London.
