That’s pretty funny…..about being in Kentucky. I once went from LA to Vegas thru some parts of the country and I’ve felt like I was on the moon so I can imagine how you feel.

I would love to connect you with Andy who is a buddy from Jolly Old England and is coming over here. What do you say about having a spot of tea thru the internet with him?

Like him, I face a language barrier – I’m a Brit living in Kentucky

In England, my wife and I both worked. Over here, only I do; we have a better lifestyle on one salary than we did on two. That, and the encroaching Socialism that has apparently riddled the old country bought me here, and keeps me here.

My question to Un-Sad is: Do your differences help or hurt you? My accent and education (along with my sense of humor) make me a unique and desirable commodity, and I am not afraid to use them. Does Un-Sad face racism/discrimination because of his background, or are they marketable?

I have been unemployed and I know the devastating effect that it can have on your “mojo” and your hope. My advice to Un-Sad is to stay optimistic and don’t succumb to desperation.

Or, as they say in Merry old England, keep your chin up, old boy!

However, if that leads to a dead-end, I’d consider coming back home if the job prospects were better.

Also, are there any American companies situated where he is? Food and Medical companies are everywhere and may be in need of english speaking employees.

Good Luck!
