one of my acquaintance moved from Egypt, where he was head of department for dentistry, to Canada and because Canada requires exams to be completed before being allowed to practice dentistry he drives uber here.
The exams cost a ton and between saving up for the exams, rent, supporting his family and inflation it looks like he will drive uber all his life.
I was very saddened when he told me "I used to be respected back in egypt and now I am getting water bottles thrown at me while driving uber".
He can't go back because he sold everything including his house to move here and his kids are settled here.
