@Ra's al Ghul He must invest in American English language training - best investment there is for a migrant who is not an advanced English language user already. He should work on his American vocabulary, accent and comprehension skills. This will benefit him for life. He should also force himself to mingle with diverse groups of people and not confine himself to the Pakistani community.
Many Pakistani/Bangladeshi migrants suffer for not pursuing the above.
Next, since he is keen on blue collar work, he should look into getting trade qualifications (electrician, plumber, mechanic, etc.). He would make good money in no time.
