Well, typically the employers that will sponsor people here in the U.S. are those for degreed professionals. Engineers and technical types. Physicans. Researchers. Journalists. Teachers and academicians. I'm sure there are others, but these are the ones I've heard of most frequently. The reason regular hourly wage type employers don't sponsor people from other countries for lower-wage jobs is because we have plenty of non-degreed workers ourselves who should rightly get first crack at those jobs, and typically employers who don't pay a good bit of money aren't going to subsidize someone's international move anyway. Likewise, people who don't make a good salary aren't usually thinking about moving around the world to work anyway. Then, of course, we have plenty of illegal immigrants competing for our less high-paying jobs as well.

Your best bet in coming here, Dean, would be to see about coming over here on a student visa to study someplace in the U.S. Can you revisit that plan?
