<p>I know guys 
b@r!um…May I ask you something in private message?!</p>
<p>Sure.</p>
<p>
Off-campus too, but only after the first school year.</p>
<p>What do you think, is it better to go in the profession that is wanted on the market or to go study something I really like?</p>
<p>Hey guys, I am also trying to pursue this path and will be applying for a US college RD in the coming fall. I’ll be applying for financial aid (Since I am somewhat poor and that’s before converting the currency to USD! :P) and hope to work according to student visa guidelines (of course).
To be honest, I am not so sure I would like to come back to my home country after I am done with school, especially after living & studying in the States for 8 years… I understood that it is possible to apply for citizenship or permanent residency after being in the States for 5 years - is anyone familiar with the requirements and procedure for this?</p>
<p>I am hoping to get into a college and then continue on to medical school. Also, by the time I finish grad school I’ll be 33 years old… (That just hit me :)) Any advice?
Thanks so much!</p>
<p>

<p>there’s no such thing.</p>

You can apply for citizenship after being a permanent resident for 5 years. In order to become a permanent resident, you either need immediate relatives in the US (marry a US citizen), have a qualified job and benevolent employer, or win the green card lottery. If you choose to go the employment route, you are lucky if you can apply for citizenship on your 20th anniversary in the US, not your 5th.</p>

<p>How are you going to finance a medical degree? There is financial aid for foreign undergraduate students, but not for foreign medical students. Most medical students pay for their education with loans, but no American bank in their right mind would give $200,000 to someone on a student visa. You would need an <em>extremely</em> credit-worthy American co-signer (someone who commits to paying off the loan if you don’t) to get that sort of money. Not to mention that many medical schools don’t admit foreign students at all.</p>
<p>Medical school and law school are off-limits to most foreign students. If your goal is to become a physician, your best bet is to pursue a medical education in your home country. If your goal is to emigrate to the US, you should start thinking about different careers.</p>
<p>This is correct, that’s why I think is better for you to graduate at home and than try to find some options for yourself.</p>
<p>Can you tell me who the most wanted employees are today in the USA? Which profession is the most wanted, who can find the job very quickly after college ?</p>
<p>There’s currently a scarcity of nurses and high school science teachers. Both of them might be tricky to get work visas for though. (Many nurses don’t have a Bachelor’s degree. In order to get a visa for teaching, one needs to be certified to teach, but many states won’t certify foreigners unless they already have a work permit.)</p>
<p>International students seem to have the most luck finding jobs with technical (engineering, IT, architecture, …) or business-oriented (accounting, finance, etc) degrees, or PhDs if they want to stay in academia.</p>
<p>“There’s currently a scarcity of nurses and high school science teachers. Both of them might be tricky to get work visas for though.”</p>
<p>Very true. I can vouch for the high school teacher because one of my friends actually went on to be a high school teacher and got an H1-B then went back to medical school after saving some money. I think he works in texas, I am not sure and I know their is a paucity of science teachers there.</p>
<p>Is there any link for the most wanted employees?
I don’t know is it a stupid question, but I will ask. Is it better to go study what person really likes or what is wanted? I plan to stay in USA after college so I would like to know which one is better ;)</p>
<p>^ There is a list of companies which sponsor the H1-B the most. I am too lazy to search for it but you could wikipedia H1B and you would find it- infact Indian IT consultancy companies are the largest sponsors of H1B lol. Anyhoo not to go into one of my political rants . . . in my experience study what would give you the most happiness, life is too short to care about money. However if you go to a top school, anything you study would get you a job at an IB or consultancy firm. For engineering you are better off at UTexas at austin than at any of the top schools because of the huge presence of oil companies in the Gulf region</p>
<p>The Department of Labor publishes those statistics. The Occupational Outlook Handbook might be of interest to you as well. It describes the employment prospects, earning potential and educational background necessary for most jobs: [Occupational</a> Outlook Handbook, 2010-11 Edition](<a href=“http://www.bls.gov/oco/]Occupational”>http://www.bls.gov/oco/)</p>
<p>Right then… Marriage it is :P</p>
<p>^ hmm . . . well if you are a guy, marriage could be a problem. You dont want to be marrying someone who could take half of what you sweated to make after a divorce. girls not really bad choice lol</p>
<p>^ Then marry a woman in your own income class.</p>
<p>this whole marriage for a green card discussion again ? really ? didn’t an argument about this just happen in another thread like 2 weeks+ ago ?</p>
<p>Just let us have our fun :)</p>
<p>Lol, first of all I am a girl. And to make my comment clear… I wasn’t really serious. I won’t marry anyone just for a green card but if I attend college for 4 years and start when I’m already 25, marriage will be a reasonable option for me should I find someone who is willing to put up with me :)</p>
<p>What are the chances for person who has graduated at law school in other country and wants to go to the USA? Does he/she have any chance to find a job (paralegal for example) and can that person go for postgraduate education. If can, what are conditions does he have to meet?</p>
