        Was this recent? With the recent wave of banning for profit teaching many teaching contractors were more or less forced home.

            I'll have to look into it again.

            I'm torn between going through the slog of Law school so I can become a labor lawyer, or saying "fuck it I'm out" and bouncing to China to teach speech and debate. I saw a lot of those positions too, and I just so happen to have a background in it.

                It's never too late to go back. I would know. Finally got my degree on the wrong side of 30 after basically failing out the first time. Graduated magna cum laude this time around and so glad I went back.

                  Well I have people who depend on me and no one to support me while I go back so that's highly unlikely. Especially because rent in this town is about 4x what you'd be able to get in assistance.

                    Damn, I'm sorry there's not more infrastructure for that kind of second chance. I saved up enough working in the service industry that I could afford it with assistance and loans, but I didn't have anyone but myself and my cat to worry about.

                      It's all good, I took my UI during the pandemic and got out of service. I'm doing engineering work using my charm and 2 semesters of college lol. Pay's alright, but it's still below living wage in my area
