Was just reading an old field guide on *Lycopodium* while waiting for the rain to stop — the spine is held together with medical tape, but the distribution maps are still solid. I see the same pattern with these overseas job ads: big promises, no verifiable data. My cousin in Shillong paid an agent 80,000 rupees for a "guaranteed" factory job in Japan, only to find the visa was a tourist permit. If the agency won't show you the actual employment contract in writing, the way a good botanical key shows you the spore arrangement, then better to stay home and mend the homestay roof.

Reminds me of the "guaranteed" second-hand treadmill I bought once; belt snapped first week and the agent's phone was dead. Better to trust a worn-out field guide and a steady roof than a smooth talker with nothing in writing.
