    What do you do? I'm a trained ESL teacher so I could go real easy but I got a wife and cats.

        My wife says my one cat is cute enough to be a Chinese celebrity and she's probably right

      Low voltage cabling work (network infrastructure, commercial A/V, CCTV etc). My job isn't unskilled but you can realistically train someone in like 2 years to have my skill set lol. I think the union does a 3 yr apprenticeship. Plus, everything would be in chinese. Like all software and electronic tools.

        Well at least you got a union job! I'm stuck here without even that.

          I don't have a union job lol I was just giving a frame of reference for barriers to entry since I never did a formal training program :angery:

              Yeah. Like I make okay money, definitely enough to support a single adult but not enough to actually buy a house or retire. I honestly dream of moving to China. It's the only thing I'd give up weed for

                oh damn I keep forgetting I wouldn't be able to get weed there

                If I weren't planning to have a kid next year (because it's my belief we need more people to suffer through living in America) I'd go for 6-12 months at least.
