Hi everyone,
Let’s introduce myself. My name is Victor and I am a 16 years old French student. I come on this forum because I need some advice for my school guidance.
My dream career would be to teach the French language in an American university. I think this job could really please me, I’d love to share the culture and the language of my country with people interested in. I had always been very attracted by the US and I’d like to live there later.
For my studies I’m nowadays in a grade called here “première ES européenne”:
- Première = 11th grade in the US
- ES (Economique et sociale) = basically that stands for economy and sociology (the main themes of my section)
- Européenne = that means that I have more English lessons than the others and I will pass my TOEFEl next year.
I have always been very interested in speaking English (I get 19/20 at my last test
).
I now to make my dream come true I will have to get a PhD in an American University. I’m in negotiations with my parents because US studies can be very expensive and here in France a lot of universities are entirely free…
But I would like to ask to my American friends some questions:
1) Is the sector of university teaching in good conditions in the US? I mean is it easy to find a job in that sector?
2) Will my foreign citizenship be a problem for me to get hired in a university? (I mean above all the visa problems)
3) Does every State university give diploma only for its State? I mean if I study in NYC, will I be able to teach in Montana (That’s my favorite State ever <3)?
4) Does the fact of studying in the US can help you to get a green card or something like that?
So that’s all I wanted to know.
I thank you in advance for your answer,
Victor M.
(PS: Sorry if I crippled the Shakespeare’s language but I didn’t use any web translator or dictionaries to write my post ^^).
