Over the years, many people told me that having a professional job in the U.S. for a person educated outside of the “American system” was not realistic. It is very possible that you have heard the expression “I left my profession as a doctor the moment I took that plane that brought me to this country.” Well, let me tell you: that is not true. It is just another myth. The truth is, the United States is a big country, and immigrants, particularly, skilled immigrants, will always have their own place to be successful here.
