Either by choice or sheer luck. What is something that has happened to you that made your life actively better?

(So far) For me it has been me finally able to move out of my parents home.

It’s not so easy to just “move” like you say. Most people can’t afford to uproot their lives and start somewhere else. Im happy for you but don’t assume others can just “move” if things are bad for them.

I made this comment explicitly because people say it's not easy to just "move". The truth is.. Yea, of course it's hard. But unless you have a health condition that requires weekly hospital attendance, it's a matter of how much you want it

[–] thorbot@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (2 children)

That’s not true at all. Many are living paycheck to paycheck and can’t afford the price of a major change like this. “It’s a matter of how much you want it” is a brain dead reply. There are people who literally cant afford to live where they are now.

Teaching jobs will pay for your flight and accommodation (provided you have a degree) . I came to Korea with just enough cash to survive for a month. It's actually not expensive.

You are making so many assumptions it’s insane. Not everybody has a degree in teaching. Just stop

[–] wlsnt@reddthat.com 1 points 10 months ago

Bro you are the insane one here, they were just motivating people, no need to be so toxic

[–] luves2spooge@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You don't need a degree in teaching. Any degree is enough to meet the visa requirements. If you're single and have no pets it is actually pretty easy.

[–] thorbot@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago

It must be nice to come from a world where you can just get any degree you want and then have the ability to move whenever you want and find any job in a new country and have the money to float the whole process.

Another option would be to become a volunteer and join an organisation that does volunteering work abroad. There are possibilities for them sponsoring your flights, accommodation, and meals.
