Im a kenyan, i live in dallas tx.. If u have your life well planned, and you are making good money in kenya, dont make the mistake of living your job to come here. Every kenyan dream in the west, is to try hard , make money and go back home and live a comfortable life. Its cheap and very exiting in kenya...but it will take you to come over here to realise what a beautiful country you have in kenya. Money does not grow on trees in america....and its damn too expensive n stressful. Mark ma words.

I am thinking about going back to kenya myself, america, is not all that its made out to be, even when you make the money, there are just too many expenses and stress factors in the US

I love the way that young girl is reasoning. The jobs that Kenyans in America have to do to make ends meet are jobs that they are often embarrassed to discuss with Kenyans back home. The Kenyan government is letting Kenyans down because the truth is that there are no jobs and that's the only reason Kenyans even think about migrating. The education these young kids have is too valuable to let go to waste. Hopefully they'll find work and not come to the US which is NOT what it's made out to be.

The question is not Kenya or the US. It's Kenya and the world. Cycle from place to place to get things done.

young ones please stay home and be happy of what you have.. seriuosly, forget the money!! the slums in kibera has a betta society as a whole.. here there is racism, the weather is so unpredictable.. and the people are like the weather... when i look at you guys.. trust me you are blessed don't come to prison, those who come and make it are but a few, but the the things they go through, not worth.. as for jobs.. be prepared to look after the old and dying and they are so mean and racist..love
