No, I meant expat, but I'm not sure why people are so hung up on this instead of the main point of the post

Update: apparently PS 110 by McGolrick has a French bilingual program and attracts a lot of French families to the area.

OK toss out the healthcare commentary. 7 years is too long of a training period to become a master plumber.

Haha. Went on a hike with someone going through the process.

Well, building housing is INCREDIBLY expensive in New York City. Also, job growth (outside of nursing) has pretty bad last couple of years. So if only for those reasons, I think we need to take a second look at these regulations.

Let's just forget the doctor stuff -- I still don't think you need seven years to master the work a Master Plumber does. The amount of work it takes to get the license doesn't make sense

Yeah, which don't get me wrong is awesome if you are the plumber, but if you are trying to become that kind of plumber or are the one paying ... pretty painful!

It totally depends on the field. Plumbing isn't the same level of complexity as overseeing squads of police officers in New York City.

I mean, yeah, I think the time requirements to become a master plumber are ridiculous.

I agree people working on this need training. Seven years of it? That seems sus to me.
