Anyone moved from the UK to live in the USA?

If so, was it worth it and what do you work as?
I've had a fascination with the place since I was young, but have never even been. I'm also at uni working towards a degree in optometry which is useless over there without a further 2 years studies, and even then ive heard getting a job in that field would be tough since its a popular occupation.
I dont really plan to move, i'm more just curious about others experiences. Maybe a long holiday would be the first step in a few states I like the sound of.

I wouldn't mind moving over. Getting a job offer/green card seems like it's 99.9% impossible i've always thought though.

Easiest way is to marry your way in from what ive read.

I visit relatives in Arizona every year for a few weeks at a time. It is the highlight of my year and I would give anything to stay permanently.

I think that makes it easier for you if you wanted to move there if you already have relatives there. OR get them to hook you up with a hot american looking for some English sausage.
