>>14995602I prefer to feel that I'm working and getting tired, which is why I don't like the idea of an office job. And doing it from home I like even less. I suppose I am a little picky because I wouldn't want to work any sort of customer related job either, I've worked in retail before and it was the worst experience of my life. I liked working in constructions though, so something like that.
>it would be about the American experience(tm), both the bad and the good, and about what that Experience means from different perspectivesSure but isn't that a bit tricky? You have only experienced your own American life and so the perspective(s) inspired by your own would be more honest than the rest, which in turn would create too much of a contrast in the verisimilitude of relating certain thoughts and emotions.
