From what I'm reading, the troubles should start to pick up now; harbors being quieter, truckers not having work, ... Are any shortages noticeable yet?

Businesses have been filling their inventories. That's ending now. Economic pain in terms of job losses should accelerate now. It will still take up to a few weeks before inventories run empty, and the full impact hits consumers. Even a full reversal of Trumpism couldn't prevent knock-on effects that last into next year.

I got a passport, and am wrapping up a degree in nursing.

It's not necessarily my intention to jump ship as soon as I graduate, but knowing that it's an option will be a great comfort.

Other than that, I stopped eating eggs.

I'm torn between something familiar - english speaking, mostly western culture, just for the sake of an easy transition; or somewhere like Thailand where it's just a completely different world. Like, if I'm going to pack up and move halfway across the globe, might be a good time to dive into something that'll give me a ton of brand new experiences.

Idk if I'm adventurous enough to actually commit, but the temptation is definitely there.

Thailand felt very foreign, but at the same time there would randomly be things that felt very American to me there.

Come to Canada, we want and need nurses!

[–] pmk@lemmy.sdf.org 22 points 1 day ago (2 children)

We always need more nurses in Sweden, I imagine it's the same in other countries too.

[–] biofaust@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours ago

Italy sorely needs nurses as well.

[–] crank0271@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

How about generic guys with no special talents in particular but the gift of gab?

[–] pmk@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 1 day ago

For Sweden specifically that could be tricky at the moment with our current government.

Going to Germany as a nurse should be possible. You would need to do some language courses and handle some bureaucracy but we have a big nurse shortage.

language

That is definitely an intimidating step. I speak a little Spanish, but was never particularly good at it, and that's hailed as one of the 'easy' languages. ...'course, the stakes are a tad higher now than when I was studying that stuff in highschool...

[–] anachrohack@lemmy.world 3 points 20 hours ago

You pick up languages much more easily when you live somewhere
