Yeah, and especially don't talk trash about the state that is one of the biggest economies in the world on its own. Haha, I love how right-wingers like to take jabs at California, but really, look at actual figures and facts.
In regards to going abroad to teach English, remember that you are from a country where people around the world are working their asses off to MOVE TO (to work). To go to a Latin American country to teach english must seem really weird to locals. Again, something to keep in mind.
It was the 6th largest economy in the world. WAS.
Its now bankrupt to the point where the right wingers cant keep the criminals in San Quentin anymore. Amazing how someone critical of the state though is automatically considered a right winger? Nice try
Im not trying to turn this into a USA bashing thread. The suggestion though that the USA is a land of unlimited opportunity while the rest of the world pales into insignificance is insulting and simply not true. There are options, and anyone with a passport who had traveled and worked abroad will know this.
But hey, isnt it like 85% of Americans dont even own a passport? Dosh garn, but there aint no life worth shit outside the USA.
