Career Opportunities & Internships
1

<p>Do you ever wonder if something is not working out for you in the USA or doesn’t seem to be bright, to try your chances in another country?</p>

<p>I’m sure people on here/people’s folks have done this. For example, my dad was born in Istanbul…he moved here to start a business in a politcally secure place and somewhere which would be accepting of all people (he’s Jewish Turkey is literally 99% Muslim).</p>

<p>What about trying to become a writer and screenwriter (that’s me but for anyone else- businessman, scientist, etc.) in Australia, Canada, Britain, or Ireland?</p>

<p>Not to hate on America because I feel passionate toward our nation but </p>

<p>1) the economy is a wreck</p>

<p>2) the consumer culture…i hate it. and i’m not just a George Carlin (bless his soul) poster but mostly everybody is so superficial and materialistic and attached to their stupid i-phones and what not</p>

<p>Look at Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. It’ll give you some idea. </p>

<p>You’ll notice that material well-being (having house, good healthy nutrition, going to vacations) is put before friendships, family. Without physiological and Satefy needs, is of course possible to have 3 above, but its much harder.</p>

<p>Not everybody is superficial. You’'ll find good friends as long as you are friendly and open-minded. Just do not show your jealousy for their materialistic-well being (like i-phone). No single person can be happy if he/she has money but no good relationships/friendships.</p>
