Are you a woman heading to America for schooling?
Do you have good braiding skills, good time management, and a good attitude? Braiding is a very valuable skill for women in the US. A good braider is always in high demand, especially on Uni campuses, this is an easy way to earn cash. On average, black woman in America pay between $50-$300 for braids and $25-$100 for small girls braids, depending on the style. Depending on the state you’re headed to, you might not need a license. I’ll kindly answer questions specific to this subject.

What about sewing? Is there a chance for someone who knows how to sew?

What about men? Which skill can a man learn before coming to USA?

Definitely. If you are skilled in making apparel worn in the west.

I wonder if they understood that I meant braiding and sewing are great skills for those already bound for the US by other means.

Starting a daycare can be lucrative and doesn't require much work, unless you're watching babies. You can run it out of your house.

Just make sure you're licensed and insured.

Take it from an American, a daycare is one of the hardest businesses to start and maintain in America. Insurance premiums are very steep. The slightest mistake can land you in jail, bankrupt, or both.
