My opinion on this subject is already out there, and is not really in agreement with everybody elses. For what it's worth, this is my experience.
The girl I married had, and still has, pretty limited English. Not bad, but not good enough to work in a bank/office/shop etc. This severely limits her options.
Also (here we go), they don't integrate in my experience, they gravitate towards their own. She works in a Thai restaurant now and is, on the face of it, very happy. She does not fit here, my family like her but we really don't have any mutual friends.
We treat immigrants pretty poorly in the UK, IMHO, and they tend to get fairly low rent jobs as cleaners/ironers/galley slaves etc.
To answer the question; she seems to be able to have any job that English people consider to be beneath them. Of course, if she was a high-flying genius then her options would be very different.
