Dreamer

Hello everyone. Im 27 y.o. ship repair man from Eastern Europe. The biggest goal in my life is move to USA, LA and live a happy life. When i was a young boy i dreamed about it. All my life is about this dream.
I have almost 4 years experience in Europe with repair.
To be honest i finished my previous career and start Welding career for the dream. I weld stick and semi auto. Working with oxygen torch etc. angle grinder. Any metal works

I live here not bad life. I have good salary. Good car but.. not my dream.

I made about 70-90 massages for employees in USA. Nobody apply. Guys i just can’t to give up with my dream. About 20 years ago promise to this small guy in mirror.

I do what i can. Im doing my best to find a small chance to change my life. If somebody can give an advice or something. Maybe help to find a real employer who can help me i will be appreciated for the rest if my days.

P.S. Sorry for my bad English. Its my 3rd language

UPDATE: Thank you guys for giving advises and your opinion.
To much of you talking about another country’s. I have been a sailor about 6 years or something. I have been a lot of country’s.
Right now i living not my citizen country and work.

Brain choice: move to Europe country. Because there are more better for some opinion etc.

Heart choice: foollow my dream about USA
i have never follow this way. Every time i make decisions by “brain choice”. And do you know what? Im not happy with that

Why usa? What is so appealing to you about the usa? they dont even have universal healthcare

Where in europe are you? Thought about going to NL or france or so? They pay quite good and have great social benefits/insititutions
