you need to look inside for opportunities

so a few phone calls with friends in China made you uneasy?

America is always full of opportunities.

Family - got kids? just raising them is a full time job.
Business - consulting, import/export, vending
Academic - passionate about science? arts? join the research/creative efforts.
Philanthropy - helping the needy, the old, the poor, be a life mentor for young kids.
Leisure - sports, outdoor travel, arts...

There is so much freedom, so much room to do anything you want.

Stop whining. only boring people live boring lives.
