How can WhatsApp uncles know everything about studying abroad 😭
Every Indian family has one person who acts like they have the latest update on F-1 visas, OPT, jobs, and the US economy… because they moved abroad 20 years ago.
And then there’s the aunty who heard from “someone’s son’s friend” that the job market is finished and you shouldn’t go.
Came across this article today and it honestly felt like it was written after sitting in my family WhatsApp group for a week 😭:
Kinda tempted to forward this and disappear from the group.
Anyone else dealing with outdated study abroad advice from relatives?
