When you emigrate to a new country you can pursue careers or professions without having to revalidate them. This means that you should not study them again in the country to which you immigrated, but you can venture to exercise them without too many requirements. In the following paragraphs we will explain this concept in depth and in which vocations it is applied.
There are races that need “homologation” and others that do not. This process provides you with a certificate of recognition of the university degree that they gave you in another country; being of vital importance if you want to practice your profession abroad, otherwise, you will be fined more than $50,000.00 USD and you can even end up in jail for operating illegally. Despite this, there are various professions that you can practice without revalidation. But what are they? Next, we list them for you:
- Graphic design
- Music
- Dance
- Journalism
- business management
- Accountancy
- Economy
- Idiom
- Literature
Can’t find yours? A quick solution, if you cannot exercise your vocation, is to study a short career in the USA. Remember that every day it is more difficult to be competitive in the labor market, which is why, if the alternative of revalidating your degree is not too attractive, we advise you to study a new vocation for a couple of years or less so that you can start working.
What skills are employers looking for in the USA?
After the coronavirus crisis, most areas of commerce, tourism, and training (to name the most important) were affected. This caused employers to lay off their employees, increasing the unemployment rate. However, with the economy being restored again, and with companies asking employees to return to them, you have new opportunities (even if you are a foreigner), such as:
- be a web designer
- Be a medical assistant
- Be a nurse practitioner
- Being a computer specialist
- Being a finance manager
- Being an advertising manager
- Being a digital marketing specialist
What are the best paid careers in the USA?
Pursuing a career is fine, but do not forget that some can give you a higher return than others, be it double or triple. For this reason, we want to provide you with the careers that, during 2020, according to the United States Labor Statistics report, are the best paid:
- be a nurse
- be a petroleum engineer
- be a computer engineer
- be a pilot
- be a nuclear engineer
- be a lawyer
- Being an expert in digital marketing
- Being a dentist
- being a doctor
- be a chemical engineer
The negative side is that none of these professions, except for some branches of IT and digital marketing (such as Freelancer), can be practiced without revalidation.
How is revalidation carried out in the United States?
You should have it as an alternative if you don’t find something you like, since that way you can get rid of doubts, and you can even work while you revalidate your degree, which is a plus. To start the homologation process you need to investigate the three most important associations in the country:
- WES, World Education Services
- NACES, National Association of Credential Evaluation Services
- AICE, Association of International Credential Evaluators, Inc.
Remember that the USA does not have a body that is in charge of this, but rather it is an independent service of the universities. What you should evaluate is its processing time, the benefits it offers, and the price of the service, which vary depending on the career you want to pursue. The requirements are not complicated; you just have to bring the following documents with you:
- your college degree
- your bachelor’s degree
- your study program
- Your study plan with hour load
- Your outstanding documents and certificates
- Your certified notes
At this point, you know everything you need to know regarding the revalidation of your career. We advise doing it as soon as you arrive in the USA if (1) you love your profession or (2) you cannot adapt to current demand and supply. Keep in mind that there are solutions everywhere, you just have to keep your eyes and ears attentive to the needs of people in your town or city.
