USA, Canada / American Polonia. Wisconsin - the most Polish state? [112]

Merged:

Good areas in USA with Polish culture? Schools etc.

What is a good area to relocate that has a good Polish community? I am thinking polish dance, school, harcerstwo etc.

I am familiar with Chicago but curious what else others say? Thanks!

not really sure about the whole high expectations deal ~ this was an idea i was fiddling with for one day before i came on here. my father is an engineer my mother worked sales in poland and all of my family is over there; i am pretty well versed on what the reality is over there but just wasnt sure in regards to my husband .. anyways we dont plan on moving there for at least 5 years and i am thankful for the advice that i was given on here which has led me to explore other avenues :)

@taxpayer you do realize i'm not a polish-american right? i have 0 american blood. i am an american citizen bc i was forced to do it through a legality when i was 18 & wouldn't hesitate to renounce that citizenship

Ok like I said this is just a thought and I'm a polish citizen I was born there and feel like I belong there so not sure why that is being discounted. Pretty sure half the people on here weren't even born in Poland.

Delphia- not true I got that straight from the horses mouth at the law department of Warsaw. And no I'm not escaping my loans or did you forget the part where I said they are taken care of? I'm not sure why everyone here assumes I'm a complete idiot. Did you miss the part where I said I took the lsat and got a score high enough to cover a full law school scholarship here in the states? Do you get off making assumption Dominic? Exactly what are your qualifications to act like you're entitled to something? Honestly you act like you're the polish president- somewhere I saw you're a medical doctor? Exactly what gives you the right to think that what you say is the end all be all? You really need to be knocked down a peg. I have all the advice I need in this forum. Thanks

I appreciate the advice I really do but the attitude is ridiculous you don't know my whole picture or mine or my husbands life so it is crazy for you to take one thing I say and make these insane assumptions. Our parents could be dead for all you know so just stop. Thanks

You need to have an advanced pass in polish as a polish citizen? Also Warszawski uniwersytet allows one to speak to the committee in polish on different topics to fulfill this requirement so your info isn't all accurate that's not the only way ~ @kaprys that's what I am thinking also doing the law school here which I can get a full scholarship

With my lsat score and then applying for firms in Poland. And for anyone saying we can't make a life here I could apply to Georgetown tomorrow and be admitted it's just that neither myself or my husband align with American life or ideals~ another option is doing an LLM in Poland at said university after JD

I'm not concerned about getting into school I'm concerned with how to live at a middle class level while I'm in school or when we get there. We will have 15,000 USD in savings or so but I don't know how long that would stretch in Warszawa~ as far as my loans that's again besides the point and not my original question they are taken care of

By the time went he would go to kindergarten @delphiandomine
As I mentioned before I have native proficiency in both languages and have been tested to be native in the polish language for my university credits~ to answer your question I think I may have to put in a few months of work to be at a very high working level of polish but yes I think it's very doable. I took AP classes in high school however I have a Bachelor so I do believe that would be taken into consideration AP are just high school courses for college credit. I have been in contact with different polish institutions so I think that info is beside the point at hand which is primarily if my husband can get a job or what kind of jobs I qualify for as a native polish and English speaker with a political degree from the USA

I am a dual Polish/American citizen my son is as well by birth I just have to file the paperwork ~ we want to move because neither of us feel a tie here and our son is fluent in polish so we think it will be a great opportunity for him. I can go to school there for free which is a bonus. There are other reason as well. I went to school and lived there until I was 8 and do have family there just not direct- I never chose to

come to the USA and if I could have I wouldn't have

And lifetime earning potential? I have 90K in student loans and have to pay $800/month most young people are royally screwed here I don't know what opportunities you're talking about but it's not as grand as you make it sound. ~ they take

on debt as naive 17 year olds with the promise of some crazy education and then have to work menial jobs to even scrape by. That is the reality unlike a 5 year law degree in Poland at the nations capitol for FREE

Well that law school- was one option but another was me working full time and husband working as a teacher/part time my degree is in a political field "pre law" degree from the USA ~ as far as child care I believe that schools are free in Poland so at least that would be covered, correct? Then after we have our wits about us I could go to school. Anyways it's just brainstorming I do appreciate the unabated criticism in any form.

I was considering Warszawa for 5 year then LLM and no much thought hasn't been given because we just started talking about this a day ago hence why I came on this forum to seek ideas/experiences/thoughts

Work / Polish citizen with American husband in Poland ~ work ops? [55]

What do you consider a top school? I do have lawyers in the family. Thanks.

Here's another question since you seem to be so well informed as a native English and polish speaker ~ how likely am I to get a job there? Also we planned on moving to a bigger city like Warszawa albo Kraków

Work / Polish citizen with American husband in Poland ~ work ops? [55]

I am going for my law degree and plan to permanently stay in Poland and later get my LLM. My family is actually in the USA so polish girl misses her family doesn't apply here. My husband has experience in finance and legislative work so we thought that perhaps a consulate job or an American firm would hire him. I understand you're trying to give brutal advice but it sounds more rude than anything- thanks though
