Unironically the only thing I could ever recommend any American do out of high school anymore is find your comrades and fight the fucking empire in the streets. Work doesn’t pay, school doesn’t lead to work that pays, trades destroy your body. At least if you find comrades to do stuff with, you can support each other and take advantage of numbers.

Anything else at this point requires you to agree to get fractally scammed, fucked over, used, and abused by capitalists at every part of the transaction.

Thank you for this. I couldn’t find this for some reason.

Unironically I would be literally thrilled to contribute to this brain drain. I’d drop everything and get on a plane right this very second for a chance to do a PhD in literally any other country.

If anyone is looking to fill a electrical engineering PhD position literally anywhere but America then I’m ya boy.

But are we though? Because based on my research, it’s a lot harder to get into the EU than it used to be like 10 years ago. It’s not as if anti-immigration sentiment isn’t picking up there either.

I don’t really know why anybody would want to come here anymore for university

I mean if my advisor can secure the funding, the two reasons I plan on doing my PhD in America are (1) I like my advisor and (2) I went to school here and I don’t like my chances of being accepted somewhere else. Like I would rather do a PhD in literally any other country.

Actually, most people just can’t afford to leave

Yeah that’s a better answer. Only reason I can leave the house basically at all is because (1) my parents pay for gas and (2) college is the only place I have to go. But my answer is true too; it sucks because everyone is too poor to leave.

America sucks so bad that I’d literally rather not leave my house

I think we’re good now lol.

Hey while you’re deleting stuff can you delete my student loans?

…

Yeah I thought not.
