Welcome to NYC, and I hope you end up doing something you love and that pays you well for it. I'm curious -- how are things here compared to back home? Are you earning more in your part-time jobs here than you did back home? I know it's only been a month, but I'm just curious about your perspective. I ask because I've heard a lot of stories from a lot of immigrants and they cover a HUGE range. I've had some guys tell me that they're thrilled to be earning $7/hour, that they love living in a home with 10 other people, and that they're happier than they've ever been because compared to back home, they're earning 10x as much, living with heat, hot water, eat well every day (McDonalds is well for them), and are _still_ sending money home. So it's a matter of perspective -- just curious to hear your story...
