HOW WILL PRESIDENT TRUMP’S NEW IMMIGRATION POLICY AFFECT VIETNAMESE DOCTORS? As we know, since taking office on January 20, President Donald Trump has issued a series of executive orders related to immigration. In particular, he is very strict with illegal immigrants. The evidence is that there are many raids across states in the United States, and many consecutive meetings with the governments of relevant countries to “mass deport” these people.

HOW MUCH IS YOUR 1 HOUR WORTH? This is a question that has always been on my mind since more than a decade ago, when I started setting goals for my desired income. At that time, my mother was just a worker, her salary was only a dozen dong before taxes, but on the contrary, in another world, when I look at famous singers, why can they earn millions of dollars by just singing a song in a few short minutes – money that many people cannot earn in this lifetime? Is life really so unfair? Similarly, today’s life is the same, why are there people who have to work as shippers regardless of sun, rain or wind to earn thousands of dollars, while there are people who only sign a few words in an air-conditioned room and leisurely earn millions, tens of millions every hour?
