How do the over educated who go to pains to speak English at a post-graduate level but have no practical experience or skills tackle the menial skilled jobs?

@dancingtongue murkans are okay with us cleaning your heads without no breaks, holidays or sick days. It's all good?

@Roundandroundwego Didn't say it was good, or that it was a generality. Just reacting to the assumption that we should hold migrants to higher standards than the rest of us. Immigrants may not have transferable resumes, but most have applicable practical skills that are in demand, where language is not an issue while they learn English. Most importantly, they have the desire, the drive, to totally uproot themselves and in many cases their families to start over in a new culture, using an unfamiliar language, where they see an opportunity to improve themselves. It is the grit and determination that has infused America with new blood and energy every generation, including my family.
