Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
It’s a common story among many newcomers to the U.S.: a surgeon or scholar is forced to work as a janitor because his credentials don’t easily transfer to a new country. We look at why that problem persists and consider career options available to immigrant professionals.
