I had a similar dream when i was a teen a long time ago in a galaxy far far away...
Once I realized what were the implications of their 2nd amendment, I simply stopped considering the US as an option.
I have no idea how is the socio economics in India but I would think carefully about what's going on in the US since #45 was elected: I have never felt such toxicity in public and political debates and wouldn't be too surprised if this end up as a civil war. I hope I'm wrong.

 

California is probably awesome when you come for a weekend and go back home, but I would not call it a decent standard of living for the average person. Been here my entire life in So Cal and lived up in Ventura for about 10 years too. THIS place is where all the stories of everyone being broke and not being able to even afford to rent come from. This place is a mess economically and it has been for about 20 years now. If you were planning on coming here, I would take a long hard look at the job markets before I came here. Figure out if you have one of these big money skills that will get you employment that will let you actually live a decent life. Dont come here, thinking youre going to grab a job at the local Best Buy or something and survive. People that work 'normal' jobs here usually work 2 or 3 of them just to make ends meet and still have a life (if they have time outside of work). Everybody I know is struggling, even the ones that have degrees and "real" jobs. Whatever you do, dont go anywhere near the San Francisco Bay area unless you are LOADED.

 

Guys, let me remind you that per the rules , politic is not allowed here. So better to close this thread, I'm asking you to self control what you post.
Thank you.

 

There have been lots of big attempts by the US to keep most parts of the world in poverty and underdevelopment to be able to absorb their brains and wealth. They use a web of intrigue to do that.

India is one of those excellent places to evacuate.

 

well, we have a president who is trying to enforce the LAWS OF THE LAND & we have a corrupt media (which is active all around the world, but very prevalent here in the US) that is too busy trying to cause division, rather than reporting truth. if anybody thinks massive groups of 5,000+ "migrants" who are mostly made up of middle aged & young men is natural, then you're nuts. it isn't organic, it's manufactured.

anyhow, the shootings & extreme poor areas are where "liberal" democrats run the cities. Baltimore, "shit & tent cities" in Cali, Chicago, NY, etc.

Also, rather than bitching about not having a job like some like to do, go start your own. Which is what I've done. Don't sit around & wait for a handout. But the job opportunities here is better now than I remember it ever being.

 

Politically India is a mess right now for pretty much the same reasons the United States is. Your best bet if possible is to try to make India better. Temptation of power and getting drunk on a vision of self aggrandizement, national power and a exclusive national identity... are you for such things? Did you hop on the BJP bandwagon because you thought it would be better for you. If you did then you don't really have the moral standing to judge Trump an his irk for doing the same thing to you.

The United States or any other country that enjoys a certain amount of prosperity is an aspirational destination because the some people decided it was worth standing up to the bullies, the users and the intolerant and create a place where individuals want to come and create a better life. If you have no interest on being a good person and creating a good environment around yourself why should the USA want you. You might just answer that you just want to make money and you think you'll have an easy chance to make money in the USA which you don't think you can even get in India and that's fair... However, it's not as easy as it seems.

I agree that here in the United States where it is obvious you don't live the plus still outweigh the minuses. However, me being here everyday of my life I don't recall when existence of LEFT WING media hype had anything to do with any of the above. I appreciate your endorsement of the United States as a place of opportunity but please don't fucking troll and stick to what you know. I don't post often so I hope we don't get involved in a long drawn out back and forth ... so how about you keep your politics to yourself since its not really relevant.

As for Canada... Canada is actually looking for immigrants however the need for information technology backgrounds or computer science majors isn't what it used to be. If you had gone into veterinary or human medicine and were willing to live outside of a city you could have written your own ticket. If you are convinced that you want to be in the U.S.A. then you should go for it. Although to be honest India is an emerging market and if you are actually a good computer scientist and creative you could get rich anywhere the world.

Best of luck and at least try to make India great again... she'll scream and kick and resist the whole time but I personally think she deserves a chance.

As right after my comment reminding the rules, incredibly, 3 members felt the need to break them, including one insulting another.

I have no more option than to close this thread.

Also I recognize that the title is not a description of the content and is appealing to political comments.
