    Don’t go to college. Run away to a country that doesn’t have a US military base and live a simple, happy, peaceful life.

      Because those countries are happily accepting uneducated immigrants, right?

          Any examples? I’ve lived in 10 countries so far and am about to move to the 11th end of this month. Neither of them had a US military presence (Liberia did have a massive UN presence though), and all of them required an academic record to grant a residence permit.

          I believe Georgia (the country) was the only one that didn’t, but that’s because of a special agreement they have with the EU.

              I loved it there, and meant to move back at some point. Amazing people, food, and landscape.

              Unfortunately from a few friends I still have there (both locals and foreigners) I heard that after Russia invaded Ukraine, they are swamped with refugees from both countries(escaping the war or the draft), pushing hospitality to its limits, prices have more than quadrupled, and there are a lot of tensions thanks to some pro-Russian political powers (no doubt backed by Putin).

              So for now I’ll stay put in Asia, but still didn’t give up on it entirely…
