Empathy?

KingwoodNana :
I had a physical therapist tell me he has until the end of the year to go until he pays his employer off for the cost of a visa he got in 2022, 5 years of a form of indentured servitude. I had to explain indentured servitude. His family's situation hasn't been a bed of roses in essence paying $1,000 a month to draw a salary. Interest was charged on the advance, loan, by the employer.

Rapsalot :
The visa costs I see, but the interest should be minimal. I bet he's still glad he did it. Visas costs should be lower for needed fields.

KingwoodNana :
I don't believe that having empathy is a weakness, and I feel that it's important to have it. I do think that there are people who take advantage of people who have a lot of empathy, so it makes it a double edged sword to me.

KingwoodNana :
He has been paying credit card level interest. He is still glad he did it. He recently bought a house in the New Caney ISD part of Kingwood. Great guy.

Rapsalot :
They should have only charged what it costs them in interest. The bigger issue is the high cost of the needed visas

KingwoodNana :
I agree on both items. He told me things are getting more onerous for more recent newcomers.
