Yeah, I guess that would be another option. But not everyone is an entrepreneur. At least I am not.

> you really don't need to be tesla or einstein to qualify

Interesting. I didn’t think you have to be a von Neuman, but I always thought you’d have to be of a calibre like, say, Linus Torvalds.

I did look at the J1 visa in the past, and as far as I remember it is a non-immigrant visa which basically allows you to work in the US for one internship, after which you will have to leave the country again. What I meant by “working in the US” was something like 2+ years (then there’s usually still the green card option).

Thanks for your reply. In my particular case, I guess I should be working towards getting more specialized (I’m more of a “generalist” now I’d say).

> You have outlined the options, but added a half a dose of pessimism.

Yes, that was kind of intentional to spur a discussion. I guess persistence (along with optimism) is the key.

Thanks for your feedback and encouragement!
