You can choose a schedule that fits your lifestyle and job security as well.. Success in your endeavors!!

      He didn't do a mistake ,the problem is he didn't explore the opportunities in place . In the US math and physics is a hot cake to get in any science course . He must have been in a small circle and never socialized to get to know the system well. That's the main problem with many people.

      Nice interview but to me it's one sided. Not everyone goes through the same as him. Regardless the work you doing anyway, it's the Tenacity that matters. There are people that studied here and works in offices and only makes $40k per year. Well, There are CNAs that made over $100k last year and there are RNs that didn't make that, there are people that came here less than 5yrs and are doing so so well RN, BSN even truckers netting over 150k yearly, I have friends in various states and some makes $5k weekly as a travel nurse for the last 2yrs. I have trucker friends that gross that range weekly also. It's good to talk from your own perspective and not general . Your association can determine your allocation. May God bless our hustles.

      Good for you brother. So many ways to make it in the USA. Some guys don't put an effort to make it. they tend to follow the path of least resistance. Then years later they blame their failures on the USA system. There is a good reason why people migrate here. The land of opportunity. While it is true a good education can take you places, having the mind to venture and be uncomfortable can land you places.

      When typewriters were developed over a hundred years ago, the qwerty keyboard was developed to slow down the typing speed. They were put in this arrangement so the keys would not run into each other from typing so fast. Today it is hard to find a typewriter, and when you do they won't have the typebars which can collide with each other.

    I guess its different for everyone. I came here as a nanny, recently sponsored my child and I went to school. I only have one job and we are not struggling. We have everything we need without straining. I learnt early not to live a flashy life and reduced the monies I was giving out to people back home ( the sky will not fall because you don't give them money). I was foolish before, giving hata 150k for free. I occasionally give max 2k and send my mom a reasonable monthly stipend. That's my survival formula. I decided long ago that I am not going to kill myself with work not having time for my child to finance people's lifestyles.

My children were all under 5 years old. I decided to go to school. It took me 9 yrs to get an associate degree in nursing…. Nor joke. My husband died 5 yrs ago but the children and I did not struggle. Thank God for spending 9 yrs to get an associate degree or else it would have been difficult for me to survive in America.

He was a teacher where i was a parent till 2013, and I used to admire the teachers' love and commitment to the profession. He tells it as it is, out here in every 1st world nation, not just in America, people initially struggle to make it but hard work, determination and focuss always pay.

    When you go overseas kindly forget your degrees, forget your seniority back home and start from any level first and prove yourself by clawing back up again. Attend courses, retrain yourself. Do whatever it takes to succeed but don't look back. Terrible mistake. Avoid negative people like the plague. They will only pull you down. If you were a success in Kenya, You will be a success again overseas. If you were a failure in Kenya even going overseas cannot change that. Use the same plan you used to succeed in Kenya to succeed overseas. I hear your story brother. You have come from far and you have the grit to make it again and claim your position at a better level.
