hello
I know that this message has passed a long time ago, but I would like to provide an explanation in this regard.
First, most post offices in North America are between 45 and 58 thousand dollars. The monthly income after deductions is approximately 3100 dollars. A friend of mine who was a postdoc at MIT earned about 2,850 a month and paid 1,400 in rent in a very small house that he shared with another person. The total rent of that house was $2,800 per month. Actually, he had a short student life. Even in Los Angeles, I have another friend who is a post doc and it’s almost the same situation. Of course, if it is a very small town, the rent is less, and in the best case, he can save $1,000 a month, provided he doesn’t go to restaurants, doesn’t travel, and doesn’t spend that much. Just one car fine is $250. If you don’t see it and pay late, it will be 300 or 400 dollars, which means that a significant part of your savings for one month will be destroyed.
If your car takes a small amount of money, you may need to spend a significant amount to repair it. In general, they use all kinds of methods to take all the money and savings you have legally and apparently legitimately out of your hands.
As for wife work, at least in North America it is not as easy as you say. For example, there was one of my friends whose wife was a housewife and he was bored at home. They decided that the woman should go to work even if it is unpaid
Wherever you can think of it, they went to a sandwich shop and said they were willing to work for free, even to sweep, but they heard the answer that you should apply online and know that we have a lot of applicants!
Regarding the value of the dollar, the value of the dollar decreases over time, not as much as the rial, but its value is not constant. For example, a loaf of bread, which was 1 dollar before Koid, is now 1.47 dollars, which means a 47% increase. So are many other items. Therefore, the value of the dollar is not fixed.
There are friends in North America who have been unemployed for years. But no one knows because the media does not advertise them.
There was a friend who was a post doc in one of the top American universities
After a while, he did not find a job, neither in the industry nor in the academy. He had committed suicide out of frustration. His teacher in America and his colleagues collected some money so that he could buy a plane ticket and return to Iran. do you know this
No! why
Because that person is ashamed to announce this matter and the media does not cover these matters.
Another example was a woman who got a degree from a top university outside of Iran and was a part-time or full-time post doc in different places in America for several years, the last category of the university said
The money for the project is over and you have to go. That lady had cried and said that I am a lonely woman and a stranger in America. If you kick me out, I have to sleep on the street corner. They had mercy and extended the contract for another year.
I am not saying that there are no successful cases and examples, there are, but know that the media talks about successful cases, not unsuccessful cases.
Therefore, it is never true that someone is a post doc for 4 years and then has 200 thousand dollars.
Making friends in a group. I want to see how true it is. Because I intend to emigrate. thank you
