Hi. I'm alienated, living in the imperialist core, I have no political representation, and none of my friends are communists. Except from this website I feel extremely isolated. How are the rest of you faring?

What do you do for work if you don't mind me asking? I've always considered this but I don't think they have much need for white westerners without college degrees :(

My partner does TEFL-teaching which does require a degree of some kind. I work as a per-hour contractor for the company that I was a W-2 employee for back in the states. I'm losing that gig in a month though, because they don't trust my network from China. I might have to go the TEFL route too.

Ok, thanks for the response!

It seems the only options are TEFL or being very high up and specialized in your industry. No PRC for me any time soon kitty-birthday-sad
