With licensed professions I imagine it's nigh on impossible to get current licensure here if you got licensed in a foreign country.

Ma was a stitcher and worked in a factory sewing linings in coats, jackets, and dresses. A young woman had emigrated from Greece and was also working at the factory. In Greece, she had been a surgical nurse. I don't know why she wasn't able to pursue her nursing career here.

We had a custodian at school for several years who got lucky and won the immigration lottery to the US from Morocco. He was college educated and a teacher there. He came here and could only be a custodian. Not that being a custodian is a bad thing, and in our district it was good career, but I think he had hoped he could continue to teach. Perhaps it had to do with the level of education or the transfer of education credits.
