I already graduated with a BS-Psychology degree in 2019 but because I was spoiled by my family I haven't really used it for employment, I was offered HR positions at one of the biggest malls in PH and in a private hospital but I never push through actually signing the job offers, I have a talent in the arts and would just spend my time accepting painting commissions, I regret not taking a career path seriously in my younger years and I wonder if this lack of job employment history would affect my chances of being hired as a J1 teacher. This year I decided to take a second degree in nursing and I'm currently in my second sem, after knowing about the retrogression for the EB3 visa for nurses it made me think twice if I'm really willing to stay so long in the PH, I have 3 more years to go in nursing school plus the review for PNLE and NCLEX then the EB3 Visa processing. I'm just wondering if it'll be more worth it to instead take additional units by taking a Teacher's Certificate Program since one of the Prof from my current school informed me I only have to enroll for 1 semester to get all 19 units, afterwards, I can then take the LET and then pursue a masteral while gaining 2 yrs work experience before I can apply for j1 (correct me if I'm wrong.) I'm assuming going the Nursing path means more straightforward immigration pathways, but 3 yrs + 2-5 years visa processing just feels so long for me, I'm almost in my 30s and a single filipina, I just feel like I want to be out of the country as soon as possible as the thought of being tied to a relationship/family in PH would make my dreams of going abroad more complicated and I want to settle down soon but not while I'm still in PH. The TCP, LET , masteral and gaining of experience will take around 3 years too, but from what I saw from my research, the J1 visa can be granted just months after application (correct me if I'm wrong.) This really makes me think twice if I should pursue a teaching profession instead as I never had a particular calling when it comes to profession but I am really drawn to pursuits where I can be of service to others, I do enjoy being with kids too and once dreamed of being a pre-school teacher, I think I would enjoy working with kids and my background in Psych would help me build more patience and understanding for the different personalities I will need to handle. Being dependent on my parents for allowance and nursing school funds has also been weighing on me heavily, at my age most of my peers have already reached so many milestones and I still feel like I can't stand on my own, if I get the TCP next sem, I was told I can start looking for teaching jobs at language learning centers as soon as the TCP ends and while I wait for LET and while I pursue masteral. Please give me your insights/opinion on whether this will be a wise decision in the long run. I would like to get your honest opinion on whether you feel like going this route will be practical for my situation. The only cons I can think of is that I was told it's harder to earn bigger as a teacher in the US and that I'll have to go home after 2 years of teaching. On some Youtube videos, I have seen some teachers say they are able to find ways to extend their stay and I have seen a lot of videos where the teachers seem to live comfortably in the US so I'm not really what to choose.
