      If you’re done with seeing everything burn you could consider moving to a place in the US where less stuff is on fire. Also, the flames might inspire you to do some real good writing, who knows.

      sometimes all you can do is hang in there

      I doubt any country in Europe would want a dude with a Masters in English and MFA in creative writing

      Don’t be too sure! We’ll need to build a lot of digital services if we want to end our reliance on US big tech, and digital services need a lot of copywriting…

        If you can read/write English natively, you can be useful in catching awkward turns of phrase that a French/German/Dutch/etc. speaker fluent in English might still miss.

          Unlikely to get you a job. Most countries either have a lot of people fluent in English who are better than native speakers or will expect you to know their local language to work there.

      Masters in English is great in countries that don’t speak it as their first language. Most people with it got a job right after graduating, some even earlier.
