5 unobvious but sought-after professions in the US for our immigrants

If you suddenly decide to change the landscape outside the office window to the skyscrapers of New York or one-story houses in Los Angeles, be sure to read this article. Here 5 collected the most unexpected professions, whose representatives with open arms waiting in the United States. IT is not to offer.

Well-known Russian sound producer Artem Nuzhin, who worked in the largest TV projects in Russia and opened his production in Los Angeles, talks about the life of the Russian family in the United States and career opportunities for Russians in America.

Before you realize that these professions are within your reach and you don’t need to learn some complicated programming language, think about documents. The most important are Social Security Number and Work Permit. Perhaps the most important distinguishing feature is the attitude to work in America and Russia. In the United States, any profession is respected, so ordinary Americans work as waiters or vendors at a local supermarket for decades.

The taxi driver

Working in a taxi is suitable for young people up to 25 — 30 years, who love cars and are willing to spend some time studying the cities and laws in the United States. To become a taxi driver, you need: SSN, Work Permit and American rights.

Tips for obtaining rights:

1) This is a very long process, which will have to spend a lot of time and effort. I recommend to go to the DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles in the USA) and take a book on traffic rules in America in Russian, the book is issued free of charge. You will need to study it in detail, because the rules of the road in the United States are radically different from the rules in Russia.

2) You should register in advance for the submission of documents, because if you come after the fact, you can lose 3 — 5 hours in a queue, which is not very pleasant.

There are two options for working as a taxi driver. The classic one is to officially get into a taxi station and be one of the drivers of the yellow cars that we all remember in the series. But in Los Angeles there are less and less of them, which I cannot say about New York. The modern version is to work with the help of applications that nowadays exist in almost everyone. Unlike many countries of the world, Uber is very popular in the USA, it is highly developed and works better than in other countries. Only drivers with driving experience in the USA as of 1 can register in it.

Working as a taxi driver, you can earn about 3000 $ per month, if you rent an apartment with someone and spend the remaining money economically, you can live on that amount.

Actor

In the US, the industry of cinema is incredibly developed, almost every day in the center of Los Angeles or in the vicinity you can see how movies are shot.

The leading agency that allows you to sign up for work in the crowd, is Central Casting. But again, remember P.NUMX - documents above all. First you need to go to their website to look at the working hours and day of receiving documents. To arrive at 1 in the morning on the specified day, to defend a huge queue of applicants, of whom 4 — 100 people will ultimately take order, since from the moment of opening, the selection of those willing is around 120 — 2 hours.

If you managed to slip at this time, then you got into their base, if not, then come another day. All necessary data is entered into the database, including your mobile phone and available dates. Then you just wait for a message with a job offer, which will come the evening before the shooting day. The message will be an instruction when and where you should be.

Bulding is divided into 2 type: union and non-union. Non-union is the first stage of extra work, where you can get about 2000 $ per month, but the schedule will be very tight. Pay attention that wages in Russia and in the USA are different: in America they pay for hours, not days.

Union gets a double bet, but in order to get there, you must at least 3 work out with a non-union group. After you do this, you will receive a letter asking “Would you like to continue working in the crowd as a union actor?”. If you refuse, then such a letter is unlikely to come to you again. The advantage is that, by working the union, you double the rate per hour.

There is a huge amount of castings. If you want to get a role with the text, then keep in mind that your accent drastically reduces the chances of that. However, it is often looking for Russian-speaking people to shoot a scene of some Russian party or Russian heroes. Then your accent will become a distinctive feature and a great plus!

Lawyer

Of course, the profession of lawyer is one of the most common in the United States and the highest paid. Indeed, in the States, a personal lawyer is absolutely anyone, even the smallest company, as well as in every family.

In America, schooling is taught from the school bench to know and read the laws, but because of the large number of migrants, the divorce proceedings, and a large number of people in general (according to 2017 data, 325 000 000 people live in the US) for all lawyers.

In addition, there is a huge number of Russian-speaking people living in America who do not speak English, so if you have a good level of professional English, there is every chance of making excellent money in the United States. In this case, you can count on the minimum salary in 4000 $ per month.

Doctor

Unfortunately, after studying for a doctor in Russia, you will not be able to move to the United States and get a job by profession. In order to become a high-class specialist, you need to study in the United States, which lasts no less than 7 — 10 years (it all depends on the specialization).

Due to such a lengthy and time-consuming learning process, the salaries of medical professionals in the United States are high. Even an aspiring nurse with little experience can get 7000 $ per month, not to mention surgeons, obstetrician-gynecologists, their salary can reach 50 000 $.

Surely everyone has heard that medicine in the United States is really expensive. You can easily feel this on yourself when you come to the district hospital without documents, and 250 $ will be asked for you for the most common reception. Ultrasound will cost 350 $.

A completely separate area is dentistry. To have beautiful and healthy teeth, you need to earn from 10 000 $. I usually say that it will be much cheaper to fly to Russia, pay for accommodation, food, visit a qualified dentist in Moscow or St. Petersburg, than to do it in the States.

However, if your move is not a spontaneous decision, but a well-thought-out plan for many years, it makes sense to aim a blow at education in order to ensure a comfortable old age for yourself and your whole family.

Nanny

Nanny - this is the only way to work, which you can get without documents. According to statistics, babysitter gets $ 13,5 per hour for one child (for two - $ 15,50; for three - $ 17,25).

In America, people have a completely different mode of life, everyone is trying to make money. Mother sitting at home with the child for years is a rarity and luxury only for families with high incomes. The duration of maternity leave after giving birth in the United States is three months, after which the young mother looks for a nanny, goes to work and continues her career, since one father will not cope with paying all the costs and large loans (especially if the family keeps his teeth). Therefore, in America, a nanny is not an indicator of wealth in the family, but a vital necessity.

In the US, there are many Russian-speaking families who do not want their children to forget the language, and more trust in nannies from Russia, so they are ready to pay you a flight from Russia and back. In addition, the wage level of assistants from Russia and Mexico at the same level, so our compatriots are popular in America.

From the author: this list is formed only on the basis of my personal experience, since these professions are the most popular among Russian migrants and I met more often than others.

In addition, there are not specified ways of earning, which our compatriots consider to be non-prestigious. For example, work as a loader, waiter, handyman, cleaner, work in fast food chains and many other professions, about which they say: “And you went to America for this?”.
