So, Ive lived here in Bangkok for a little over a year and a half. No family and support just on my own. Its been an adventure n ive grown to love it. I feel i lived and seen and tasted and experienced things most americans never do. From my trips to Isaan, Laos, Cambodia etc. I could never imagine living anywhere else except asia. Not just Southeast Asia. But anywhere. I love this place. (Japan is awesome) But Thailand is in a strong second place!That being said.... it seems so fuckin impossible to find a job here. AND BY JOB- i dont mean teaching, and i dont mean dressin up in a tie and sittin at a desk. No offense to anyone O.o  Nothing wrong with those jobs. I just hate em personely. Ive attempted this teaching **** a few times. While it seem to be the ONLY fuckin job in bangkok for american farang, its so far from my fuckin taste i wanna scream. Just ranting, i guess, but honestly, the most income ive earned was teaching a few ppl some conversational bullshit, or selling some stuff, or being an extra in a movie or commercial.Any advice here? Ive worked very hard since i was 14 in the states. Mostly construction, roofing, machinest, and manual labor in factorys. Im used to actually doing something and getting paid. Not sitting down at a desk all day pretendin to work or "teaching" either. I study now, but i need to get some income or i wont b able to afford to stay in college here.Any advice? serious advice? just a point in the right direction would help.maybe if i was mexican? haha
