Vent College feels like a trap

[PointOfNoReturn]

I regret starting college. I only enrolled to get a degree so I could disappear overseas and teach English, but now it just feels like another obligation weighing me down. Deadlines feel like a burden. I just wanna be free again.

Maybe I should just see it as my ticket out of here.

Is it really that bad though? Have you actually been there?

Definitely doesnt seem like a great place to settle in long term as Vietnamese women are too conservative and most arent interested in non asian guys by many accounts. Plus their language seems god awful to learn and makes Mandarin sound angelic by comparison.

SEA languages are absolutely awful. Vietnamese and Thai are easily the worst sounding languages in the world. The only Asian languages that sound nice are Japanese and Indonesian, imo.

Not always. But to settle down there? Probably not worth

depends on the time of the year. air pollution in hanoi is worst in winter. also there’s constant noise pollution too. i’ve spent around 6 months the last 2 years in various cities
