What's So Great About The UK? [416]
and I have had to start from scratch.
We all do in a foreign country. I came to the US with a small suitcase in my hand. That's all, and I made it.
I can see that you felt like ranting, but keep on going. You obviously need to go through with the exam, even if you have to borrow some money. What makes you think you can just show up without a paper showing your credentials and you going to get a highly paid job? Your experience in Poland certainly helps, but without the exam - it means nothing.
There are plenty of Poles here in Chicago, doctors, lawyer, accountants who had to start from scratch, if that's what they wanted to continue doing. If not, there is always the construction site, or worse.
I don't know how long you are in the UK, but it is not its class system that prevents you from getting a good job. It's the almighty piece of paper. It works everywhere and the rest is up to you.
Good luck.
