What awaits you after moving to the USA

After living in America for several years, I realized that this country has become as dear and understandable to me as my beloved Belarus. I won’t say that everything is smooth and simple. A different culture, a foreign language, largely unsuitable professional skills, longing for the homeland and relatives - in a word, there is everything that immigrants traditionally face. At the same time, I found in this country what I was so missing before. But first things first and from a purely personal point of view, which may not coincide with the opinion of respected readers.

Socium and social climate

Perhaps the first thing you encounter when you come to America are smiles, apologies and small “nice things” that complete strangers do to you. After wary compatriots, this widespread goodwill is somewhat shocking. But some time passes and you get used to it, you adopt the manner of communicating, a smile appears that is intended for strangers, and not just acquaintances, you begin to react more calmly to events, and there is a reason to simply enjoy life. Remember the phrase “I’m a cultured girl, I only express myself while driving”? So I noticed that I began to drive with less emotional expressions.

The second thing I really like here is the absolute cosmopolitanism, since any immigrant here can become one of their own. The only question is how ready the person himself is to integrate into this environment. There are many examples when people “don’t fit in” and, after living in America for several years, return to their homeland. Or they leave for some other country that is closer and dearer to them. But there are also many for whom the United States has become their home country. I belong specifically to the latter category.

The future for the younger generation and the chance to start something new for adults

America, I am not afraid of this banality, is a country of great opportunities that any resident gets. A lot of scholarship programs, numerous bonuses and discounts for merits enable young people to find their calling and try themselves in different directions.

As for the people who came to the country as adults, with a decent baggage of experience, knowledge and skills, America also opens up new opportunities for them. For example, ForumDaily told time and again how it is possible quickly learn well paid specialties in america, Including in the medical field. Many immigrants aged “for …” start a new career here, study and, like young people, build their new future brick by brick in a new country. However, there is a nuance - it is very difficult! I know it from myself. However, America does not like lazy people.

Favorable business conditions

The business climate in the States is very comfortable. A large number of wealthy people proof of that. It is easy to open your business, it is easy to get a loan with minimal interest (or sponsorship), taxes are quite reasonable, but the most surprising thing is that the whole bureaucratic process is absolutely transparent.

High quality of life

America is a kind of fantastic island where people tried to introduce everything that they lacked in their homeland. The results are visible. The United States is a country with a fairly high standard of living. There is a lot of money here and you can make it. And don't let your immigrant status scare you. If you know or are learning English, and are willing to work and study hard to confirm and improve your professional level, then success will certainly await you here.

Diverse leisure and travel

As my travel experience has shown, America is an amazing country to explore and travel. It has everything your heart desires: megacities and provinces, mountains and plains, rivers, lakes and oceans, nature reserves, national parks and geysers, several climatic zones and even a desert. The country offers so much that more than 60% of the population do not have foreign passports. Yes, there are no ancient ruins in the States, but for this you can fly to Europe and/or Asia.

Worthy old age

Growing up, I understand that America is the country where I want to grow old. For older people, the conditions here are simply magical: government programs to help the elderly, disabled and low-income people, comfortable nursing homes and boarding houses, a mild climate in many states, a barrier-free environment for people with limited mobility.

In addition, at the federal level there are even programs that provide payments to relatives who care for their elderly. Yes, social pensions in the USA are not very high, but the number of various assistance programs will allow you not to “live out”, but to live fully, even if a person came to the States in adulthood and did not have time to earn money for his “old age”.
