We will be very happy if you come to live in Israel, but you must understand that we have been managing without you so far. You would therefore have to be prepared, at least at first, to take any work that's going.

Do you speak Hebrew? That would help a great deal. You will probably be able to get a job in Tel Aviv. You might find work in a hotel in Eilat. Israel is credentialism crazy, so you have a shot with your degrees. Have you visited Israel before? I recommend it. Many Americans who make aliyah who have never been to Israel end up on the first plane back after they see how Israelis behave. It's a rough place even in peaceful times. Get your mind right and expect the unexpected. Also, don't get trapped by an Israeli girl who would like a green card. If you go on a tourist visa, no one will hire you in your field.
