What is the best medical career to follow?

What career would you advise for me to follow if I want to get a work visa in English speaking countries in Europe or North America?

  • Forget about age or country of origin. I want to know in general terms... If that even exists! There are *hard* careers to follow, such as medical doctor, that will most likely guarantee you a work visa in many countries. I want to know all other like wise career paths for the mentioned countries (and if MD even is indeed one of them).

  • Answer:

    If you are yet to obtain a career, then you need to add another 3-4 years to the present moment to study for it. By that time, current talent shortage will be resolved, and you will have to chase another degree (another 3-4 years) to become current with the demand, but by that time, another set of skills is needed. Hope you see that chasing current demands is not realistic and you won't be able to win. Visas are given based on the companies proving (in no uncertain terms) that they simply can't find needed talent in a country. Let's say an extreme shortage of programmers or scientists. Let's say today it's Pearl programmers, and in 3 years it will be COBOL programmers (just bear with me on this example), and in another 3 years it will be another language which does not exist yet. However, in order to study in a foreign country, you will have to prove that you can sustain yourself (such as putting money in a bank account) and listing how you will pay for the tuition fees to study there. The reason is that you can study anywhere and your choice of college - due to its inherent supremacy or some other quality which cannot be replicated in any other college, is what brought you to a certain country. Some countries have limits on what work you can do while studying, and then local companies further dictate whether or not they want to pay you for your services. It is possible to obtain a scholarship - it's difficult but it's possible - yet you conveniently left out your age, country of origin and intended destination (Europe is large, you know), so cannot comment further.

For visas, people with science/technology/engineering degrees, and in particular computer science degrees, are in a good spot. Even if you don't want actually be a software engineer, a computer science degree helps; I am a product manager, but I couldn't have gotten a US visa without having the a computer science degree. Medical doctor is actually a potentially risky one; many European and North American countries do not necessarily recognise medical degrees from outside their country, so unless you're also going to study medicine in the specific country you then practice medicine in, you're running the risk of not being able to get a visa.
