I didn't get this thread resurected to cause a fight so let's get back to the gist of what it is supposed to be about.
"I do know that in US if I have a job I will always get salary that is enough to pay for housing and food. That is why I want to live in US. Fifty dollars is the maximum month’s salary that I can earn in Novosibirsk."
Bagira the premise for this statement is very, very wrong. You can work your butt off in the US and starve to death. Just because you work over here it doesn't follow that you will be stable. I think that the US media, films etc have given a false impression to the rest of the world. If you have sought after skills and can handle the pace things can be 'ok', but if you have a skill that is borderline or worse still no skills at all it is very precarious.
Those skills can be surprising. For example my ex wife wanted to attempt to save our marriage in 1998. I was about to walk away. There were many problems but one of them was money/work. She had a bachelors degree in fine arts and another in data entry. She was earning peanuts at a hospital in a billing department. She decided that she would learn to be a dental hygenist. So I wanted to give her a chance and I supported her for another 3 years. Once she graduated she couldn't get a job. Because there aren't any jobs for dental hygenists. It is a dead profession. It has been killed off for many reasons. Bottom line it doesn't exist anymore. Who would have thought that something that demanded so much training and school would be a dead job? I was pissed because I had waited patiently for her and she had chosen something without doing enough research into the possibilities. Stupid. That epitomized our relationship. She also managed to break every promise she made to keep me around so before you jump to the conclusion that I wanted to split over money think again. There were many reasons but this one was a definite front runner.
If you think that a wage from Burger King is going to let you have enough money for food and housing I would revise your concept. It will not.
America is a tough place. However if you can find a nice ordinary guy who doesn't earn tremedous money but gets by then you commit to work as a loving team you can make it.
Trouble is that the west being what it is if you deny 'percy filth' until after marriage it is unlikely you will find anyone. As they say in the south "that dog won't hunt".
I wish you well and the best of luck, really I do. Nobody should have to struggle the way you do.
Dental hygiene a dead profession?? Are you kidding?? I NEED a new hygenist right now. On this side of south Florida they are in great demand, and making good money...I pay mine more than $50,000 per year on four days of work! My current girl is moving and I am having trouble finding a replacement. I did get one inquiry from a girl in Miami willing to drive across the state just for the job...

PS I'll get back to you about your dental needs! So busy now because of "season".
Ana graduated dental hygiene school in summer 2002. She only had one job and the guy ripped her off. She gave up. Every student in her class could not find a job. If you are interested or know of an 'in' in Miami let me know I'll pass it along. At the moment she is a billing clerk with Baptist hospital.
Just got off the phone with her. Nope she let her license lapse because the prospects were so bad. She just confirmed that she kept in contact with about 30 of the girls there was one guy but he drifted off. Nobody can get a job. Apparently the word is out and the Jackson Memorial Campus of Miami Dade Community College who run the school are not getting the students anymore. She said the only people who can make a living at it are those with years of experience and established in the profession.
She is very curious to know where you are located.
Just a word about my ex wife's degree.
The design student said I have a brilliant plan.
The engineering student said this is how we'll do it.
The accounting student said this is how we will finance it.
The art student said would you like fries with that.
Since I deal with engineers daily I heard a good joke from one of them.
What does an engineer use for birth control? His personality!
You would have to understand him, he went through Rose Hulman with honors and tells me he barely remembers being there LOL! Marijuana he said was his ultimate study aid
The guy who writes Dilbert is exactly right. Amongst the couple of hundred engineers I work with we have nerds who could nerd for America. Anyone see the movie Office Space? Those guys work here!! There are a lot of normal guys too but we have an enormous amount of twits here.
Their idea of fun is talking about getting the code to call on a particular funtion and if I could just get that register to go high when this line is asserted high.
They drive me nuts. They are walking birth control devices! They make a lot of money though
After I graduated during the farewell party one of my teachers told us a story. Humour combined with worthwhile advice.
John just had graduated as a Construction Engineer, and was looking for a job. Also dressed for that purpose he took to the streets and came across a large building site. It looked interesting and he decided to ask. He went in to the foreman's cabin, and knocked on the open door. The man inside glanced at him and beckoned him in whilst bent over some drawings. John stepped in and waited for the man to look at him. After some time the man did, and John introduced himself.
My name is John, and I am qualified as a Construction Engineer. I came across this building site and decided to enquire if maybe your company has a vacancy I could fill.
The foreman glanced him over again, and then looked outside whilst rubbing his 2-day old stubble.
Hmm, maybe we do you know, let's try, why not. You see that big heap of river sand there (he points)?
Yes I do, John replied after looking.
Well then, overthere (he points) is a wheelbarrow, and behind that shed (points again) there is a spade. Now go take that spade and put it in that wheelbarrow, in such a way that it will not fall out when you drive it. Take the wheelbarrow, by pushing and lifting the handles simultaneously, to that heap of sand, and park it quite close, almost in the sand. Then take the spade out of it, and push it with your foot into the sand. Push the handle down almost horizontally, and by using both hands you will be able to obtain a spade of sand. This sand you put into the wheelbarrow, and with the now empty spade you dig into that sand to get another spade of sand which you also put into that same wheelbarrow. Repeat that until the wheelbarrow is full, a bit heaped even, with sand. Then push the spade vertically into the heap of sand and leave it standing there. Now drive the full wheelbarrow, quite a bit heavier now mind, to the other side (he points) of the site. There you will find a large hole in the ground, and here I expect you to tip the sand only into that hole by lifting the handles of the wheelbarrow however not letting it go forward. Practise makes perfect, and if you drop the wheelbarrow in the hole also you will just have to get it out again. Now, when that has been done drive the empty wheelbarrow back to the heap of sand, there where your spade still is. Park it close again, take the spade and fill the wheelbarrow same like you did before. Leave the spade again, drive the wheelbarrow to the hole, tip the sand in that hole, return to the sand and fill it again etc etc, just repat that until 5 this afternoon. Understood?
John is flabbergasted, stunned, and just manages to answer he is qualified as a Construction Engineer.
The foreman replied: I knew it, I knew it, I will explain it again.
I did mechanical and also pushed wheelbarrows. Nothing wrong with starting in a hole :))
