Thouhgt about Hershey Foreign Workers

Have you heard about J1 VISA?

A J1 VISA gives a student permission to work legally in the USA.

(I also have it, so its possible to get an internship and/or a part-time job.)

There are a lot of students who have this in the USA.

In Hershey, PA there are these students, too.

And they made their vioce heard by the society.

When they applied to get their J1 VISA,

they expected to have a special experience,

for example,

To share cultural ideas, To have work experience with Americans,

To see traditional places.

They also were eager to improve their English.

They want to speak, listen and write English.

Its the big reason they choose to come to the USA.

Yeah, but "No Money No Gain" in capitalism.

So they needed to pay more than $5,000 - $7,000 to get this.

And they are spending money to live here.

This not a small amount, and it gives positive effect to USA economy.

However, the reality in the USA is not the same as they thought.

Because of the language problem, they misunderstand about culture and racism,

And they can't get experiences.

Yes it's true, it's difficult to work with a person who can't speak English very well.

It's also true, there is a risk to hire a person who doesn't understand the USA.

But, if they are perfect to speak English, they wouldn't choose J1 VISA program.

If they don't want to know USA, they would choose the other countries.

US government provided this program for their profit.

(Im sure they got money through this program.)

So its fair to give PROFIT to participants, too.

It will be able to be a Win-Win game.

US government can get profit,

participants also can get experience they thought.

As like me!

I am so happy to have internship in World Affairs Council:)
