The young lady first disclosed that she had worked five different jobs since arriving in her host country.
Her first job in the US was working as a ride-hailing driver. She would later shift her focus to cleaning, earning a living from calls from homeowners who needed their spaces tidied.
She then worked as a hairdresser before she was hired as a stock-taking officer at Walmart.
Fast forward, and the young lady has now made significant strides in her life and currently works as a phlebotomist.
A phlebotomist is a medical professional who's trained to perform blood draws. They collect blood for testing or donation and can also perform blood transfusions.

Social media users who commented on the video shared varied opinions:
Paméla commented:
"Gurl, I’ve done all too, including: armed security, CNA, Home Health, companion, bank clerk, DoorDash, Walmart Sparks, CPS. The hustle continues…"
Moe indicated:
"It’s not easy, but better days are ahead. I used to think I would be a millionaire in the first year. Look at me, America has humbled me."
certifiedcrazy22 opined:
"Just do the RN course and be free. Work for a year or two and let the hospital pay for the BSN. By the time you realise, you will be making $200k+ a year."
Dera Organics added:
"Honestly, if I didn’t have a master’s degree in a nursing field, I’m not sure I would ever want to travel abroad. I’m not that brave or strong to hustle like this. Kudos to you."
Gamer star added:
"Since I came to the US, it’s only UPS and Amazon I’ve worked at. I’m currently at Amazon and not leaving anytime soon."
