Cuban woman sends a message to newcomers in the United States: "If I had heard this, I would have saved thousands of dollars."

A Cuban woman from Miami has shared the advice she would have liked to hear when she arrived in the United States. A message for newcomers, recommending that people seeking a new life in the country should take into consideration her experience.

The TikTok user @karlybeautyservices titled her video: "Things I regret spending my money on so much when I arrived from Cuba"

"If you are arriving from Cuba, I am going to give you a piece of advice that was given to me and that I did not listen to," begins the Cuban. "If I had heard this, I would have saved thousands of dollars. There will be many people who will not agree with me, but the truth here is that all jobs require a license or certification."

The young woman explains that, although studying and improving oneself is important, it is not necessary to take all the courses and obtain all the licenses that others recommend. "Think about it, you are just one person. You cannot be a medical assistant and everything at the same time. All those courses cost money, plus everything they ask for to take the courses," she comments.

The Cuban woman admits to having taken real estate and medical assistant courses, but she is not practicing either of those professions. "Right now, I could have saved the money I spent on those courses. Those courses will always be there, but it's useless to have them stored away in a drawer like an investment," she says.

The video also addresses the difficulty of finding a job in the United States without contacts or previous experience. "Here it is quite complicated to get a job without knowing someone or having experience. Unless you already know that you have a focus in that profession," he says.

The Cuban concludes her message by urging newcomers to invest their resources wisely. "If you are going to do something, it's to practice it, not to keep it. I'm not saying don't study, but I mean to make the most of your resources."

In the comments, many have shared their experiences about the challenges of being a newcomer, and some agreed with this Cuban.
