It’s well known that the job market is really bad. Despite the unemployment rate is 4.3%, a lot of people are struggling to find jobs. Many are listed on job sites like Indeed, LinkedIn, etc., but you don’t really know who’s actually hiring. There’s been an overflow of ghost jobs clogging up the job sites.…

During my teacher training, I remember observing a Year 5 lesson on enlightenment in Buddhism. Sat on a small chair at the back of the classroom, I heard a student say something that would eventually give me a lot to think about: “I’m changing religion!
