Hej! Ska börja läkarlinjen i Lund, men tror jag ska byta! Vilken linje ger mig störst chans att få jobb i USA efter flytten?

Läkare är ingen dum utbildning, men du bör då ta en del av utbildnigen i USA (vilket är dyrt!), annars måste du nog läsa in en hel del för att kunna få amerikansk behörighet senare.
Men om du avslutar din läkarutbildning i USA så borde du kunna få ett H1-B visa om du blir anställd av något sjukhus direkt.

Annars har Energigenier rätt, programmerare eller något annat inom IT är ett bra val.
Men jag föreslår att du funderar lite på det, det är inte alla som är lämpade att vara progammerare. Du ska vara lite OCD när det gäller detaljer, och ha ett extremt logiskt tankesätt. Du måste vara en bra problemlösare, och givetvis vara intresserad av teknik och programmering.

Här är några citat som jag rekommenderar att alla som har funderingar på att bli programmerare läser:

Despite the enormous changes which have taken place since electronic computing was invented in the 1950s, some things remain stubbornly the same. In particular, most people canÂt learn to program: between 30% and 60% of every university computer science departmentÂs intake fail the first programming course. Experienced teachers are weary but never oblivious of this fact; brighteyed beginners who believe that the old ones must have been doing it wrong learn the truth from bitter experience; and so it has been for almost two generations, ever since the subject began in the 1960s.

After a fair bit of trial and error IÂve discovered that people who struggle to code donÂt just struggle on big problems, or even smallish problems (i.e. write a implementation of a linked list). They struggle with tiny problems.

So I set out to develop questions that can identify this kind of developer and came up with a class of questions I call ÂFizzBuzz QuestionsÂ named after a game children often play (or are made to play) in schools in the UK. An example of a Fizz-Buzz question is the following:

Write a program that prints the numbers from 1 to 100. But for multiples of three print ÂFizzÂ instead of the number and for the multiples of five print ÂBuzzÂ. For numbers which are multiples of both three and five print ÂFizzBuzzÂ.Most good programmers should be able to write out on paper a program which does this in a under a couple of minutes. Want to know something scary? The majority of comp sci graduates canÂt. IÂve also seen self-proclaimed senior programmers take more than 10-15 minutes to write a solution.

IÂm still wondering: why do people who canÂt write a simple program even entertain the idea they can get jobs as working programmers? Clearly, some of them must be succeeding. Which means our industry-wide interviewing standards for programmers are woefully inadequate, and thatÂs a disgrace. ItÂs degrading to every working programmer.

At least bad programmers can be educated; non-programming programmers are not only hopeless but also cheapen the careers of everyone around them.
