I could see America being the place to go for a man trained to be a British butler post-WWII. The class system in England broke down post WWI and was even worse post-WWII, and many houses couldn't afford to keep servants any more. A lot of men who had been trained for what was a very prestigious job back then found themselves digging ditches to make money. Americans would have found the notion of British staff very fancy, especially the nouveau riche who were trying to prove they were just as genteel. If you had your heart set on buttling, America might be the place to go.
