They don’t all hate us

Europeans, that is. Was talking to a postdoc in the lab the other day; she’s an MD from Romania, lived or visited various places around Europe, and she said her dream for most of her life has been to come and live in the US. Not so much because of the money; she said doctors make a pretty good living there, too. Not because of family; the only person she knew when she came was her boyfriend (here already), and all the rest of her family is back in Romania. She wanted to come here because it’s America.

And yesterday she was thrilled at getting her very first credit card. :)

    Good for her. Not all are taken in by all they hear.
