Perspective after..?!

<p>Please could you tell me; is there any perspective for foreign students and foreign citizen? Is it easy or hard to find a job for foreign citizen? Do employers prefer American citizens or I as foreigner, have the equal opportunities to find a job as Americans do? Does crises makes situation worse for foreigners? What is percentage of foreigners who find a job and stay in the USA, a how many of them have to live the USA?</p>

<p>Employers have to jump through extra hoops to hire foreigners, and therefore will always prefer Americans over foreigners with similar qualifications. Finding a job may not even be your biggest problem. Currently the number of prospective foreign employees exceeds the number of available work visas, so many qualified visa applicants are rejected and have to leave the country.</p>

<p>You should not come to college in the US with the expectation to stay afterwards. Great if it happens to work out that way, but be prepared to return to your home country after college. (For example, only take on as much debt to pay for college as you would be able to pay back with a job at home.)</p>

<p>if you’re from a highly ranked uni or highly ranked LAC and your GPA is good, you’ve got a decent enough chance. if you’re from a cc or from some unknown uni with a low rank, forget about it.</p>

<p>Since I do not have enough money for an expensive college or even average one, I’ll have to take a community college A A level and the cheapest one out of the way.</p>

<p>What do you think is there any point to take college like this and is there any hope to fine a job after finishing some no respectable college.</p>

<p>like i said, unless you’re from a respectable school or have an exceptional talent or skill in something (ie web design, programming etc), chances of finding an employer in the US who is filling to sponsor your work visa after graduation are low. </p>

<p>what are your plans after you graduate community college ? are planning to attend community college solely to find employment and stay in the US after ? please don’t, or you’re going to be disappointed.</p>

<p>Yes my plan is to find a job right after finishing a community college. Please tell the truth do I have any chance for that. I would like to stay in USA, finish paralegal college and find a job. I do not have any special ability, so do I have better chances for finding a job after finishing paralegal college.</p>

<p>seriously, i’ve already replied to this. no, you won’t find a job after CC. no company is going to spend additional funds on the filing required for your work visa when there are like a thousand other americans who who are similarly and/or more qualified who can do the exact same job. if this is the case, why don’t international students graduate and work in a sandwich shop ?</p>

<p>those internationals who go to CC normally transfer to a regular university after their 2 years. if you can afford the 4 years of school, its possible. but if you can afford 4 years of education in the states, why go to CC in the first place ?</p>

<p>The international candidates who are most likely to be hired are those who have an M.S. or Ph.D. in a scientific or technical field. Even they have difficulty finding work in the US. The paperwork that the companies must go through in order to hire people who aren’t citizens and don’t already have a green card is very expensive and time consuming and even then there might not be a visa available. Do not come to the US to study expecting to be able to get a job.</p>

<p>

You need at least a Bachelor’s degree to be eligible for a work visa at all.</p>

<p>Ok what options has person who don’t have money for school fee but is still interesting in studying, working and living in the USA.</p>

<p>Apply for financial aid, win the lottery, rob a bank, or marry an American citizen and get a green card.</p>

<p>please don’t give him/her/it ideas. this person really sounds desperate.</p>

<p>No I m not , I’ve been looking the most prosperous way for myself. There is a lot of information and I want to here a second opinion.I would like to thank you all for your inputs, you’ve been very helpful. Could you tell me if I want to apply for financial help, what kind of conditions I have to meet? Thanks</p>

<p>Just an advice. Study, Study, Study and then go to a great college and apply for financial aid, this is the way.</p>

<p>

Since financial aid for international students is very limited, you would first and foremost need a superb academic record. The two basic options are need-based aid from a top 30 college or university, or merit-based scholarships from lower-ranked universities.</p>

<p>What do you exactly mean by super academic rank? Can you give me more details about these two options that you mentioned?</p>

<p>“superb academic record”</p>

<p>You would need to be one of the top students in your country.</p>

<p>If you get into a top school you won’t have these problems such as money and job.</p>

<p>It is hard to be the best in the state. You mentioned two types of scholarships; could you give me more information/details for each of them? Thanks</p>

<p>Need-based aid: If you manage to get into Harvard or another one of the top universities, they will provide you with need-based aid. That means evaluating how much you and your family should theoretically be able to contribute to college, and giving you grants, loans and a job offer to cover the remaining college expenses.</p>

<p>Merit scholarships are based on your academic performance rather than financial need. In order to get a scholarship, your academic record (especially grades and test scores) need to be significantly more impressive than that of the average student at the university. (That means that you will probably have to look at very low-ranked universities to get a significant scholarship.) If you are a star athlete or talented artist, you could also compete for athletic or performance scholarships.</p>
