> I don't think it took or takes specific courage
I am assuming you are from a developed country and probably white which is why you are saying that. Ask people who are from developing countries who have to put a major chunk of their life savings to get a resident visa move to a different country use their savings again till they get a job in their own domain.
People from developing countries also have to face the humiliation from their friends and families incase they dont get a job and have to move back.

Good points and agreed. I did specifically think of and note those refugees or asylum seekers who do for sure need courage. However, I didn't consider economic migrants from developing countries. I can see there is courage required for them too.

I think courage is the right word.
