The title could very well read "The USA Dream" or "The UK Dream" or "The Australian Dream".
A hard hitting article that many immigrants will concur with. Yet, most if not all immigrants have surmounted the odds and through their intelligence, sheer dint of hard work and dedication, have gone on to a better life. This article should be "Must reading" for anyone aspiring to immigrate to the West. Not to discourage them from trying to better themselves, but to blow apart any illusion they might have about the promised land. From my own experiences as an immigrant, I believe that the younger one is, the better one is able to adapt and work oneself up the ladder. Forget about your status in the country you immigrated from. Unless you are incredibly lucky, you have to start at the bottom of the ladder. Most immigrants having seen hardship, work very hard and work themselves up the ladder of success. Remember, you are coming to "their country", and have to work twice as hard to prove to your prospective employer that you are worth employing and retaining. Adaptability is the key. If you were a doctor or professor, and are now required to sweep floors. So be it. Bide your time, work hard to feed your family while networking and keeping an eye open for opportunities in your field of expertise. Eventually you will succeed. .
