Many of us grew up watching Hollywood blockbusters that gave us a vicarious taste of what it must be like to live in the United States (minus the giant robots, aliens and super-heroes, of course), and for a good few people, it created in them a dream of someday taking a bite out of the Big Apple or gazing over the Grand Canyon. They say that the USA is the land of opportunity, a melting pot of people from all walks of life and cultures; and you too could be a part of that excitement. But besides the so-called American dream, there are several good reasons to make a go at starting a life over there. Here are five of the best ones (as if you needed any convincing).
Employment Opportunities Abound
The USA has one of the most stable employment rates, with a percentage of unemployed residences of only just over 5%, a number which has barely grown over the past 3 years. There is also a wide range of choices between jobs for those with the skill, experience or determination.
A Stable and Growing Economy
It might seem alien for a South African to consider an economy as stable and sustainable, but there is a good reason why the US Dollar is the chosen currency for investments and currency exchanges all over the world; it is a remarkably strong currency which represents a stalwart economy. Which makes personal growth an easier thing for you to achieve.
A Very High Standard of Living
The population of the United States are notorious for an exorbitant standard of living. They are a nation of consumers and producers, and as such, have been rated at the top country (in terms of OECD Nations) for their ratings on standards of living. Big houses, luxurious foods and more electronic devices than you could ever hope to get your hands on characterise the way of life in the States, so why not become a part of that.
An Incredibly Diverse Ecosystem
The United States is massive, and it is made up of a diverse collection of ecosystems, terrains, animals, birdlife and plants, many of which cannot be seen anywhere else in the world. If seeing what beauty this world has to offer is something that drives you, then you will definitely want to take in the natural beauty in and around the United States.
Leaders in Science and Innovation
The United States boasts the world’s most impressive collection of internationally recognised scientists, entrepreneurs and innovators. Whether they were originally US citizens like Stephen Hawking, or immigrated to the country like Professor Michio Kaku, there is no denying that some of the planets greatest minds and scientific facilities are in the US.
