Admetus@sopuli.xyzto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Thoughts on moving to another country/learning a new language?5·1 day agoGreat! Make sure you’ve read my edit. CS is quite a recruitable teaching role. The degree is essential, and I’ve been in a spot of bother not completing my degree before as well. It helped me to live with my family for a bit to complete it!
Admetus@sopuli.xyzto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Thoughts on moving to another country/learning a new language?5·1 day agoThat’s a good indication.
However in reality, a degree is required to teach in China, and to get a valid work permit to do so, as a foreign professional.
Without a degree, schools or kindergartens will offer other visas, such as a business visa, which is illegal. No matter how well established the school is, teachers have been busted for doing so.
How about travelling there? China offers 30 day tourist visas. Then you can settle on whether you want to work on that degree and work in China.
I visited Japan to consider whether to work there and while I enjoyed travelling there, I very strongly felt I wouldn’t want to work there. China spoils us teachers on relatively low hours, low living costs, and good pay!
Edit: you were about to complete a degree in CS. A few teaching jobs are available for CS. Completion of the degree will open up these jobs, especially if you can show distinct proof of tutoring in CS (as an example) one year (which they can exaggerate to two years in the visa application). Otherwise use English teaching in China as an in-road to teaching CS at a high school level. It could kickstart a teaching career. 😉
Admetus@sopuli.xyzto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Necromancers imply the existence of Necrowomancers.4·1 day agoApparently there was not much distinguishing ‘man’ between men and women until after 1000AD, at least from the Germanic perspective.
Admetus@sopuli.xyzto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Thoughts on moving to another country/learning a new language?10·1 day agoChina still offers quite a few teaching jobs but experience is usually required. If you’re autistic - excuse me for asking - how would you fare teaching in a classroom of students young, or older at high school age?
The lesser qualified jobs (maybe only requiring a TEFL certificate) will involve teaching English in a large class of 30+ students, or teaching kids in kindergarten.
Otherwise, very few jobs are available for people with little or no professional training in marketing, technology or other areas of expertise. A lot of these jobs need strong fluency in Chinese too.
Anything is possible, but be aware of culture shock. In less metropolitan areas, getting around, eating the foods you’re used to, often severe hot weather, irregular communication and demands by the employer, and many other things will make it a unique experience, but one that may make you question your sanity in the first week or longer!

Admetus@sopuli.xyzto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's the truth on a woman being out of a man's league?6·3 days agoThis feels like a myth perpetuated by Hollywood, or a lot of media in general. You hang out with enough people you’ll click with one of them regardless of how wealthy you are, or how handsome or beautiful they are. The exception are those who only look at partners materialistically, hence the full circle back to materialistic Hollywood/media fictions.
Admetus@sopuli.xyzto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How do you justify buying something you want but don’t need?2·4 days agoYou can’t really justify it but if you buy it, don’t beat yourself up over it. As long as you don’t hoard so much as to end up with so much stuff to move when you change places.
Erion is a really nice community. Quick commands for moving around and combat encounters are fully automatic with some key presses if you want to change the type of attack etc.
Quantitatititative I always do a double check.
What do you do to keep yourself entertained?
Admetus@sopuli.xyzto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Would you forgive someone who spread a rumour about you if they said they were "wrong about you"?3·4 days agoIt’s a one time thing. People can - just like children - come to the wrong conclusions. If they stay on your side after the first time, they have understood you, and are understanding you from their perspective.
But if they continue to gossip about the next thing about you, they just wanted to bury the shit from before.
Getting older I am able to see the cues of ‘gossip’ and I throw all that shit to the back, and use opportunities to address my friends or coworkers about it indirectly to get a proper perspective.

This is probably in part a meritocracy, though how the government defines ‘merit’ is probably quite subjective.
Humans are all too human. A purely statistical vote such as proportional representation is most likely the most scientific method regardless of what government is elected. If a civilisation must fall through its own vices and fallacy (oh hey, we’ve been there before!), then let’s allow the collective consciousness of our fellow human beings work it out.
Ever…so…fucking…slowly.
