枫下茶话 / 美国话题 / Any suggestion on my situationDo you think if it is still worthwhile for us to go to USA now.
I have a professional job in a small town. LP has a professional job as well. One boy is in grade one.
We are both engineering background and close to 40s
Life is quiet and boring.
Do you guys think we are too old to go to USA and start over again.
Any suggestion are highly appreciated.

It depends on,
1.if you can secure a job there.
2.if your wife can find a job there, assuming she wants to work instead of staying home.
It is not quite easy to find a job in the states now, good luck.

2 cents1. hard for your couple to find a job in same city in USA
so family income might not change significantly if only one people works
2.In the end, life is same no matter where u r, especially having kids
3.You might worry about ur visa when moving to USA.
Regardless, Canada is your home country like China for now but it is hard to get such feeling in USA.
Again, it is up to u.

哈哈，哈哈，你真是鲁智深面前耍大刀。。。哈哈哈。就凭你们两个人都是专业人士，当然IT除外，你们这把子年龄在美国找工作轻而易举。美国需要就是这样的专业人才，或高学历人才。但是有一点，我的感受是，两口子一个人工作还好，如果两个人都工作，那就等着“妻离子散了”。为什么？ 自己的经历：媳妇连续工作了两次， 一次比一次远， 我想，下一次恐怕就是阿富汗，伊拉克了。。
美国是注重人才，注重经验，注重高学历的国家，你小子真是有才的话，就不要怕年龄大，对于搞工程的人来说，越老越值钱。
说不好听的话，高级人才在加拿大都是生活的苟延殘喘。。。
一直往前走，不要忘两边看。。。

Thanks 'happy home town' s encouragement.I am wondering how long It usually takes to get a green card. It is going to take six to ten years.I would be close to 50s. what if I will move back to Canada after 60. It seems I have to keep move for next two or three decade.
Still I am thinking go USA is right thing to do. I just need some external force to help me go toward this path.
How the job market look like in States?

Lets think about it from another perspective. If you work in the US and your income is in USD, then naturally you diversify your asset.I have been in the US for less than a month. So, if you ask me have you got what you wanted, I would say Yes because of the warm weather and cheap housing.

说句实话，美国是全面发展的国家，而加拿大是缺胳膊瘸腿的国家，行业发展很不平衡。言外之意，任何一个人在美国都可以找到自己的位置，但是这在加拿大是不可能的。

如果你不怕折腾，你就来美国玩一玩；如果你喜欢田园式的生活，还是慢慢地在加拿大享受你最后的几十年吧

it is not worthwhile to pay social security on your every paycheck for so many years, and might not be able to get anything back at the end even though u might get green card after many yrs.

先在网上看看各自专业的招工情况， 以及工作机会相对集中的地区。美国最大的问题是身份，绿卡很麻烦。如果你们自己心里放不下，不做会后悔，那就行动。现在就业形势不是特别好，我们认识的一美国本地人已经失业8个月了，还没有找到工作。不过，事在人为。等是什么也等不到的
