Am I crazy for wanting to move to America in the near future?

Am I crazy for wanting to move to America in the near future?

I'm 19. I'm studying computer science and am interested in going into the field of AI & Robotics. I'm naturally a very curious person, I've lived in the UK my whole life and I just want to experience something different.

A lot of the leading AI companies are based in the US. I'm interested in places like NYC & California, there's just so much to discover!

Of course I'm going to finish my undergrad here and I'm still thinking of where to go for my master's, if I do it.

It's not about money. It's about opening as many doors as I can to ensure my future is secure and I am happy. I don't dear the unknown, it sort of excites me -- I love learning and improving.

But I'm not stupid. I know many people have this pipe dream and think America is heaven for those who want to be 'successful'. I know that's not true for every. America is scary and very different to the UK (with healthcare, housing, education, work life).

I know there's a lot going on in the US right now. But I'm thinking about 4-5 years in the future.

But it's something I'd like to do. I'm very adventurous. You can't deny that America has a LOT of opportunities and I don't want to settle for less due to a fear of change.

If I do go ahead with this crazy plan, it's not for a while, I've just started my undergrad after all!

What do you think?

TL;DR:

Am I crazy, as a brown woman, for wanting to move to America and build a successful life for myself? There are so many more opportunities especially in my field, and I'm a very curious person who always wants to learn more!
