No matter how much you study, landing in the water will change everything.

Everyone’s brain is wired differently.
And you’ll get to meet some people who enjoy what you like! Win/win!
Check with the local parks department. There are nature hikes that teach people about the local biology.
Joke.
My buddy had gotten a job in a posh part of town. He told me that one of the unexpected benefits was that every woman he saw was dressed to impress with perfect hair, makeup, and clothing.
“Joe, you gotta get over this sick fetish you have for women who bathe every day.”

Two students are talking and one says that according to the book she’s reading, mentally healthy people can recall stuff from before they knew how to speak. She asks the other what his earliest memory is?
“I remember being very nervous the first day of high school.”
Why did it mean a lot to you? If you don’t mind sharing.
The movies “Her” and “Network” went from being cutting edge satires to quaint docudramas in real time.
An immigrant and a Harvard professor?
This is probably being gleefully followed by Trump personally.
They didn’t make me a manager until I had been on the job for over a decade.
One day I look at an old favorite, “The Dirty Dozen.”
Early on, the Major is ordered to meet with the General, who tells him he has to train twelve condemned prisoners for a suicide mission behind the German lines. The Major obeys the orders, but opines that whoever came up with the plan must be insane. The General tells him to shut up and go; then the General tells his staff that the idea is insane.
Then the Major has to meet the troops and convince each man that it’s in his best interests to join the mission.
Being given stupid orders and then having to lead a bunch of psychos and idiots to achieve the goal is the essence of being a middle manager.
Do yourself a favor. Spend Christmas through New Year’s in the town you’re planning on moving to first.
You didn’t challenge anyone to improve themselves. You tried to impose your ideas on other people. There’s a difference.
Cheers.
it could not have happened and would not have happened, for essentially economic reasons.
The interesting alternative histories are ones that turn on a single fortuitous event.
You said it couldn’t happen, then said that there are ways it could have happened.
Also, if you don’t want to be part of the discussion, you are free to stay out. other people are participating and enjoying themselves.
You are contradicting yourself.
Hitler left orders not to be awakened so he slept in on D-Day. Rommel had left his post. Think that wouldn’t have changed things?
Stalin had dozens of warnings that Hitler planned to invade. What if he’d taken even one seriously?
What if Hitler had let the Army get the glory at Dunkirk and steamrolled the troops on the beach?
I can think of dozens of times the course of the War changed by the actions of one person.
Best wishes.
It’s one of those things that sound reasonable until you actually spend a minute thinking about the details.
Minting money. Starting a post office. Borders. People who work out of state.
It doesn’t matter, because what I enjoyed might sound terrible to you.
Like I said, two different jobs will have a similar skill set, and the book gives you a long list of all types of jobs. It even breaks them down by how much education you need.

Get this book. “Discover What You Are Best At” by Linda Gail. It’s a series of self tests that gauge what skills you already have, and then lists the jobs that use those skills. For example, a hair dresser and a nurse both need good social skills and good dexterity; two totally different jobs with a similar skillset.
I spent my whole life thinking I’d never find a job I actually liked, then I got the book and it led me to a career I enjoyed and got a decent salary.
No. You have to go into the water first to learn how to relax and float. Then you can learn a good technique.
