Change is slow. It takes decades of evolution to gestate a revolution.

No. You have to go into the water first to learn how to relax and float. Then you can learn a good technique.

In the immortal words of Mike Tyson, "everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face."
No matter how much you study, landing in the water will change everything.

Check with the local parks department. There are nature hikes that teach people about the local biology.
- Comment on What is the funniest insult / joke you've come up with on the spot? 4 days ago:
Joke.
My buddy had gotten a job in a posh part of town. He told me that one of the unexpected benefits was that every woman he saw was dressed to impress with perfect hair, makeup, and clothing.
"Joe, you gotta get over this sick fetish you have for women who bathe every day."
- Comment on Most people's earliest memories are at around 3 or 4 years of age, which correlates with the age kids start asking "why" for everything. Kids start asking why when they become self-aware. 4 days ago:

Two students are talking and one says that according to the book she's reading, mentally healthy people can recall stuff from before they knew how to speak. She asks the other what his earliest memory is?
"I remember being very nervous the first day of high school."

Do yourself a favor. Spend Christmas through New Year's in the town you're planning on moving to first.

It doesn't matter, because what I enjoyed might sound terrible to you.
Like I said, two different jobs will have a similar skill set, and the book gives you a long list of all types of jobs. It even breaks them down by how much education you need.

Get this book. "Discover What You Are Best At" by Linda Gail. It's a series of self tests that gauge what skills you already have, and then lists the jobs that use those skills. For example, a hair dresser and a nurse both need good social skills and good dexterity; two totally different jobs with a similar skillset.
I spent my whole life thinking I'd never find a job I actually liked, then I got the book and it led me to a career I enjoyed and got a decent salary.

Remember the time Trump walked onto Air Force 1 with toilet paper stuck to his shoe?
The people who take orders directly from him despise him. The Army has plenty of crack units that could put on a great display; the folks in charge put on the weakest show they could.
