Well, here’s hoping I too get lucky and stumble into the right people at the right time. Networking isn’t my strongest suit, so I’ll have to work on that.

Tell me about some of your experiences in China. How long have you been there? Do you prefer it over Canada?

Oh teaching😬. You guys really decided to tap into the four horsemen of low paying jobs huh. Here’s hoping things get better for you guys.

Psychology is fun. It’s the right amount of challenge and interest to keep my unfocused brain hooked. If i did go to grad school i would go into cognitive psychology and potentially get a PhD to do research. The brain is just so fascinating, and being able to immediately apply what you learn in class is what makes it even better.

If I however decide that i don’t want to go to grad school, I’d most likely go into market research - all things being equal. It’s the most sensible application of my love for research and problem solving. I’d probably have to get some certifications, but i think it’s worth it, and pay is not too terrible after I get a few years of experience. I guess i just have to determine what i want in life. Do i want to be confined to the four walls of an institution for decades or work a normal job.

Why is it that you were never able to stick to one job? Also, what programme (if you went at all) did you go to university for?

What the hell? How have you retired from academia at such an early age?

Oh that’s definitely interesting, and i definitely see how the creativity can come in. Do you report for a newspaper or news article?

Wow, what a coincidence! I was actually thinking of going into that field. I’m currently a psychology major, but contemplating whether or not to go to grad school. I decided that if I don’t go to grad school, I’ll go into marketing. Specifically market research.

Can you tell me a bit more about how you got into it, and whether i require some additional certifications?

(Sorry to get off-topic, i just had to seize the opportunity)

Hmm. You didn’t give me a whole lot of rope to grab onto, so this is mostly a shot in the dark, but I’m gonna guess that you’re in your 40s. Say 45

Forgive me for prying, but you said you didn’t trust other school friends. Is there a reason for that? Of course, you don’t have to answer if you don’t want to
