> what's keeping you there?

Zero work experience. You can't really change country without finding a job first in another country, or at least having a plan. I would gladly work any job to become an US citizen or canadian citizen. Sweden, Norway, Finland, any cold country.

I don't know how to search for a permanent job abroad. I don't want to just do tourism and work abroad for one year. There always seems to be tons of discouraging paperwork. Canada requires you to have 2000 euros or more if you want to go there. With 9/11 the US will be a difficult place to go as I don't have any job experience.

> I find it hard to feel sympathy

I don't care about your sympathy, I'm not asking for it. Nobody has sympathy anyway. What do you mean by that anyway ?

> be part of the change

What does that even mean ? I don't care about change, I just want to get out in the morning, do anything that can be done, and go back home.

Like I always say, where can I pick a shovel and start working ? Job applications are stupid too, there are always requirements, and nothing about the real supply and demand of the job market for that kind of job.




Hey jokoon, you're clearly in a rut, and it's clouding your thinking and decision making. Your attitude needs to shift from where it is because, presently, it's so negative that it amounts to self-sabotage. I would suggest seeking some help, any help. It'll be lousy, and you'll have to wade through a different morass of bureaucracy, and unhelpful people, but eventually I strongly feel you'll be able to shift yourself from where you are.

Things don't magically get better in other countries. Each has it's own set of crap that people there have to deal with. But you know this.

Bonne chance.
