Running the following fixed it for me (replace wlan0 with your network interface):

sudo ip addr flush dev wlan0

I've been having a lot of conversation with a friend about this. I make the statement that there aren't that many well-paying jobs in USA, even if USA appears to be a rich country, if viewed from the outside.

I am also concerned, as an american, with the idea. It's not good for me, if my country in fact does not have many high-paying jobs.

In this analysis, I specifically exclude digital technology such as software development. This would be a topic for another article, and also I believe there are as many web development jobs outside united states, as inside.
