Re: A degree from US. Is it worth the time & money?
Like Spiral said, most of us get money from US government because we’re citizens or permanent residents. For people coming from Pakistan, it becomes a huge hassle because you need to show that money in your account before they’d even consider you for an admission. There’s no such requirement for people without visa restrictions.
Also, most people on student visas from other countries don’t have work authorizations- which means they can’t legally work. If you work illegally, there’s a slew of stuff you’re worried about along with getting paid significantly less. Have you looked into online education through University of Pheonix?! you might be able to stay at home (Pakistan) and avoid all this. And ofcourse, you can evaluate your reasons for getting a US degree vs one from a reputable Pakistani school.
can you please confirm me about the work authorizations, because just few days back i attended a seminar held by one uni and their representative told me that yes u can work part time (up to 20 hrs/week ). thanks
