You could chant primary colors at kindergarteners online line for a maximum of 20 hours per week, or in person for a maximum of 10 hours per week

That may work for you, and if it does I'm happy for you, but for me, as much as I want more time for myself and my hobbies, one thing I want even more is to not ever spend any amount of time doing anything even remotely like that.

I also have no real interest in working abroad even if I didn't think that job sounded horrible. A week or two of vacation, sure, but by the end of week 2, I'm ready to go home, and that's really the point here, I want to be able to just stay home, and only leave when it's to do something I want to do.

So youre sure you don't like the situation you're in, but equally sure you don't want to leave that situation.

You have a lot of company.

Teaching is not the only option, and no, that's not what I do.

It doesn't sound like you're really looking for solutions yet.

He doesn't want to leave that situation for a nightmare shitshow of a downgraded situation.

[–] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

He should try something easier that fixes his problems instead.

It's surprisingly pretty rare when someone wants that either.

Because your suggestions are all completely deluded.

They're not better. For pretty much anyone.
