I'm not too knowledgable about schooling and transfer credits but I would def send a letter (or email) to ASML describing your current school (perhaps not political) situation and who knows, maybe they pay for the whole ride. paid learning is a thing here.
I believe as well visas for critical jobs. doesn't hurt to ask

they're expanding, so most likely hiring. the world can't get enough of the 2 nm chips (not much more smaller after that for probably a decade).
they're building machines as fast as they can. I'm a CNC machinist and have made plenty of parts for them and have friends that assemble cleanroom parts for them.
plenty of work to go around.
you don't even need to speak Dutch there, English is fine.
and guess what? we even have great public transportation.
come one come all, apply today!
and get away from that hellhole the US has become. it used to be us (one for all, all for one), now it's just them the elite.
I lived there 24 yrs, from the golden age of silicon valley (late 90s) to its inevitable enshittification. glad I got out before it's demise.

as a European formerly living in silicon valley.. we are working on it. and thanks to the orange turd in charge it's been fast-tracked. and when all hell breaks loose, we'll just stop sending ASML machines your way. best of luck idiots (not all of you)

eh, in the Netherlands we would just cut off all their datacenters, maybe even the internet hub we have to the US.
so go ahead

tell me about it. commuting to work by bike, uphill and into the wind both ways.

[–] MeThisGuy@feddit.nl 2 points 6 months ago

I do the same, but I press every button inbetween for good measure.

(nah, j/k)

your city doesn't clean out the storm drains every fall?

[–] MeThisGuy@feddit.nl 4 points 6 months ago (2 children)

but you grabbed 3?

[–] MeThisGuy@feddit.nl 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

but you haven't always been in pain.
to appreciate the good times you have to have gone through the worst times.

believe me, this too shall pass. and you will be stronger and better off for it.

there is no easy way out. just know that complete strangers online have gone through what you are going through, and have your back (as evident in the comments).

and you too, will persevere. and come out on top.

hugs from an internet stranger 👥
