I am the son of an expat and was thinking in moving to the US. However, things like not having a stated id are limiting my options of doing a master (which was what I planned to do) due to not having the state discount, some other options that I though about were directly applying to jobs which is what I’m currently doing. However I would prefer to do the masters first since I would like to perfect my English. Honestly, just want to hear of people with similar stories or that have children that went through this process.
I wouldn’t shy away from smaller private universities if you have good grades or play a sport. I got enough academic scholarships to basically get a full tuition paid for at a private catholic university.
Most Americans won’t get a master’s degree or at least won’t get one before working for a few years anyways. I’d move somewhere you think you might enjoy and start gaining job experience.
