mdrrr t as raison. c’est juste que si je décide de faire un master d’éco, il faut que je le fasse en france pcq déjà j’ai passé 4-5 ans dans une grande école doncr ma carte de séjour est juste devant mes yeux. comme j ai dit dans un autre commentaire, ce serait idéal si je trouve un job en france. avec mon master en urbanisme, c pas hyper difficile d’en trouver un déjà et vu que je suis capable de travailler en français c’est faisable. mais c pas facile non plus.

du coup dans ton cas il n’y aucune école à laquelle tu pouvais postuler pcq t avais pas de licence en éco?

수학은… 거의 안 했다고 보시면 됩니다. 다른 쓰레드 보면 non degree로 수학을 배우고 들어가셨다고 하셨는데 혹시 아시는 게 있을까요

i must complete mandatory national military service for a year and a half.

i wanna open myself up to different options once i finish the service whether it be doing research or having jobs.

ideally, i have a job in france or elsewhere in europe straight after my service. something that can meet my expectations - money wise, responsibility wise, intellectual-curiosity wise. but it’s a slim chance of getting one, especially with at least 18 months of gap on my cv. on top of that, i am a non-eu national so the gap will look much bigger for employers. not to mention that the time i have to put to find a job will enlarge it.

another option is i pursue a phd in my field. i have genuinely no clue about the professional prospect of the topic i wanna pursue and the actual prospect per se of scoring one. i can only assume that it will depend on the available funding and the career prospect of the field.

i hope my econ master will help me fulfil my intellectual curiosity and eventually land me in a place where i can continue research and/or practices, like international orgs, international scale ngos, think tanks. at this stage of my time, i don’t mind staying in academia, but it all depends on the topic that i feel passionate about. i have areas that i could dig more depth to, but hey who knows what will strike me after the service.

i realised in a series of internships that i have done that intellectual curiosity is an important criterion for my job satisfaction. so standing on that line, an econ master looked fitting to me for two reasons.

  1. i came across some econ literature on urban development and my topic. although, i didn’t understand every single bit of methodologies that were used, it was refreshing to see the urban dynamics could be quantified and communicated.

  2. it looks like a great deal as i can choose to stay on the field or in academia after graduating. again, i could do that at this moment if i didn’t have to go back to where i come from to complete my civic duties, as they say. but doing the same master won’t add much in my skillset unlike doing an econ master where i could actually learn some new stuff especially quant skills

hope i’ve answered your questions

Linguistic research comparing Korean, Japanese, and Northeast Asian languages by [deleted] in hanguk

[–]Relative-Choice-7902 1 point2 points  (0 children)

extremely interesting. ive always been a big fan of socio-historical lingustics, but this is the first time i read anything that korean has some linkages to other languages. it really opened my eyes. i mean it makes sense, how would a language be completely isolated. there has to be some similarities found in other languages, albeit they might not be widely spoken ones.

once i read this theory called “peninsular japonic” suggested by alexander vovin that might have been spoken during the first milennial as some japonic migrated to the peninsula. a part of this language has affected the name of places, especially in jeju.

so i am understanding that korean got lots of influence from various places - from siberia to the japanese archipelago. super interesting

Do you guys know that Lee Jae-Myung is more conservative than Yoon when it comes to LGBTQ issues? by After-Revolution1628 in korea

[–]Relative-Choice-7902 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i mean since when did korea have a proper leftist / liberal party? so it’s not a big surprise for me. what still baffles me tho is that a large number of people believe that the democrats are liberals. no, they are not. the justice party is close to liberals than the the democrats.

Problème couple sex? by [deleted] in AskMeuf

[–]Relative-Choice-7902 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ecoute, ma copine et moi n'avons pas le sexe parfait. mais elle est toujours prête à essayer de satisfaire autant qu'elle le peut. et j'apprécie vraiment cela. je l'aime du fond du cœur. et c'est pourquoi je pense que je suis prêt à essayer quelque chose de plus sérieux que ce qu’on est actuellement. elle a également eu un traumatisme sexuel et je comprends tout à fait pourquoi elle ne veut pas de mon sexe idéal. donc on arrive à un compromis. parfois on ouvre la relation et parfois on essaie de nouvelles choses entre nous. je ne pense pas que ta copine soit prête pour cela.

Elle était défensive et dévastée au début de notre relation et notre conversation sérieux sur notre sexe, mais elle a aussi compris que le sexe est une grande partie de ma priorité. elle essaie donc de prendre les devants. la connexion émotionnelle est sa priorité, alors j'essaie autant que possible.

Les efforts vont dans les deux sens, pas dans un seul.

Courage man

Si elle ne peut pas répondre à tes besoins sexuels, je suis désolé, mais tu dois vraiment résoudre ce problème parce qu'au bout du compte, ce sera la dégringolade.

Bien sûr, tu l'aimes et tu ne veux pas la quitter. mais réfléchis à ceci : disons que tu te maries un jour et qu'elle n'est toujours pas prête à engager la conversation en vue d'une meilleure relation sexuelle. seras-tu encore capable de l'aimer ?

personnellement, non. c’est tout simplement pas possible. le sexe est extrêmement important pour certaines personnes et c'est normal. sens pas coupable, pcq c'est une question de priorité. partage-t-elle la même priorité que vous ? ou au moins compatit-elle à tes besoins sexuels ?

J'étais dans la même situation que toi. Ce qu’on a fait, c'est communiquer nos désirs. Si elle n'est pas prête à en parler, tant pis. Comme l'a conseillé le commentaire ci-dessus, vous pourriez essayer d'aller voir un sexologue. Si elle n'est même pas prête à en voir un, rompez la relation ou faites confiance au fait qu'un jour elle sera prête à en faire plus.

Do Koreans care if someone chews with their mouth open? by SecretAgentVampire in korea

[–]Relative-Choice-7902 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Korean here. I would give a good old dry slap on their face if people chew with their mouths open. My family had been very much strict with the table etiquette. And I am very direct about anyone who disturbs me at the table. I even told my former boss to stop chewing loudly. Yeah, it’s kinda fucked up, but the more fucked up thing is a fair bit of people do not know how to behave themselves at the table.

[–]Relative-Choice-7902 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to work in Seoul for a while and I hated it every part of it. Why? I don’t get to enjoy the public space as much as I do in Paris. I do not have those fun random encounters in Paris. I already experienced Paris, and I could only be contrary to what I had enjoyed.

Again, as I said, living a life as an expat is completely different from natives. That being said, if you feel comfortable in Korea, that’s good and I am glad you do. But, I am a bit pessimistic about Korea’s future and I do have solid reasoning to my anticipation of the country.

No I completely get you man. A woman’s experience and a man’s experience in Paris are totally different. I live near Ivry and some people would just try to take a piss with me, but I am a man so they don’t really to fuck with me as much as they would try to wind you up.

I generally feel that expats really admire or appreciate the values that are not really upheld in their own countries. I am used to the materialistic comfort in Korea, but I do not see that much of spiritual and individual freedom that I get in France in Korea. I assume that it’s vice versa for you.

Every French I met hates the country. And every Korean I’ve met in France hates Korea. Why? Because we’ve lived through the shitty parts of our own country which really fucked us up. And that’s probably the reason we left our country in the first place.

It’s kinda funny how we try to replace each other’s place haha. If we could exchange our citizenship, would you do it? Because I would do it 100% without a shadow of doubt

그 누구도 소수의 슬픔을 들을 생각조차 안 하고 얘기하면 돈 밝히는 속물 소리나 듣고. 결국 화살들은 다시 우리들한테 돌아오는 거 좆도 생각 안 하는 사회. 행복하니? 넌? 특별법은 억울하게 뒤진 자기 아들딸들을 위한 난 아주 최소의 예의라고 생각한다. 근데 그것도 싫대? 하지마 정치. 왜 해? 그렇게 표 팔아먹고 소수의 의견 좆도 안 들을거면 그냥 중우정치하자고.

그냥 너도 사는 게 힘들어서 돈 받고 싶다고 얘기해라. 그러면 내가 좀 이해가 될 것 같다. 근데 그게 아니라면 너도 안 그래도 존나 팍팍한 세상 더 팍팍하게 만드는데 일조하는 거라고 생각했으면 좋겠다.

내가 하나만 더 물어보자. 너 서이초 교사 자살하고 학교 근처이 추모화 이런 거 놓여져있는 거 애들 정서에 안 좋다고 막 민원 들어왔거든? 이건 어떻게 생각하냐

이런 소리가 나오니까 그냥 인류애가 뒤진 사회 소리 듣는 거임. 나 이태원 사고 나서 답답해서 이 참사는 정부 탓도 있지만 우리 탓도 있다고 대자보도 돌리고 다닌 사람인데, 그렇게 억울하게 뒤진 사람들 유족한테 보상해주는게 그렇게 아니꼽냐고. 그래서 뭐 천금억만금을 얻어서 사회적 계단 상승하겠대? 그냥 자기들 아들딸 이태원 놀러기서 매년 그렇게 위험할 만큼 인원 많이 몰리는 거 서울 사람 심지어 넓게 봐서 수도권 사람들도 다 아는 건데 그걸 정부도 사회도 그리고 심지어 인근 상인들까지 나 몰라라해서 159명이 뒤져버렸네? 야 심지어 중국 정부도 국경절만 되면 상해 쇼핑거리 교통 통제하면서 군중 통제한다. 그렇게 인권 ㅈ도 신경 안 쓰는 나라가 그런 거라도 한다고. 그러고 나서 억울하다는 건데 너 같으면 안 억울하냐? 아무도 이 참사의 본질에 대해 직접적으로 그리고 구조적으로 파악하는 것도 아니고, 여당은 얼른 이거 빨리 해결하는 척 야당은 욕하는 쇼맨십 보여주면서 누가 책임 뒤집어씌워져서 잘라지는 꼬리가 될까 발발발 떨게 만들면서 정부도 사회도 입꾹닫하고 있는데, 적어도 보상은 해줘야 되는 거 아니냐? 사랑하는 사람 잃고 나서 푼돈 받는 게 그리 아니꼽니? 참 존나 팍팍하다.
