Without a US green card or citzenship, you can't get a part-time job anywhere here in the states. The only part-time job you can find is on college campus stores/computer labs where you study.

No, you can't. Ice cream is illegal in the US.

Also, I would like to see your grad school applications. Those must be some pretty fantastic essays you are putting together. 😛
 
You'd be one of very few people who make $50 an hour if you ever get there. My dad has been working for 20 years at a worldwide Fortune 500 company as a facilies manager and he doesn't make that much yet, and he has a 4-year degree. So don't come here. Stay in your own country and like it. I'm tired of foreigners coming over here and us paying all the taxes for them and just creating a comfortable place for everyone else to enjoy.

And forget the ice cream trolley. 90% of Americans don't have enough spare money to do that so you sure won't while working at McD's, not to mention it wouldn't work. Where did that idea come from anyway?
 
Real answer...

Expect to make a max of $12-$14 an hour... part time... starting salary at a full time gig would be $16-20/hour.

The idea comes from the fact that in India you have those running around pretty much every neighbourhood.

Oh so there's ice cream trollies in India. Ok that makes more sense.

Maybe you could buy a hot dog stand instead.

for folks just coming to america, they should expect $6/hr jobs delivering pizzas and chinese food.


you have NO idea how selective MBA programs are. most MBA programs i know of require you to work a minimum of 2 years full time before even considering applying. furthermore, having an MBA does not necessarily mean that you'll get hired. a degree is helpful, but you need the presonality to go with it. and saying "hello, i want $50/hr" will just get you kicked out.

That's ~$600k per year, is that really how much a typical anesthesiologist makes? What about fresh out of med school/residency?
 
Firstly USA has better colleges ofr MBA than India,if I do MBA then I might get a better job in India.
I may come to USA for MBA.
Also,how much will it account in a year including living expenses etc.
40-50grands/annually
That is >15lac / yr
Also,if I get scholarship can't I do the entire course in 20-30lac all inclusive.
 
As mentioned earlier if you are in the US on a student visa it is not legal for you to work here out side ofschool. The only jobs you can have on a student visa are student jobs on campus and internships. On our campus GAs get a tution waiver and make 9hr, this is the best student job limited to 20hrs a week. The best paying internship job I have heard students talk about was 18hr during the summer time only doing programming.

Keep in mind that alot of universities here have very strict standards on entrance qualifications for thier masters programs. I would not count on a bachelors degree from a foreign school carrying much weight here.

Cost of living depends on your location in the US and it can vary greatly.

i've said it before and i'll say it again: if you're serious about this path, CONTACT UNIVERSITIES THEMSELVES (and preferably by phone). i also suggest that you try not to sound like a complete moron.

let me tell you that when i worked at my university, i handled a lot of mail that was routed to the wrong location and got my fair share of "hello i from india and would like to join your university." funny thing -- this particular school was women-only (and it said so clearly on the website) -- and most of the folks emailing this account were male. but that's only a side point.

i haven't seen a single one of those folks get accepted. then again, i didn't work at the admissions department, but simply emailing every university you hear about in the united states is not particularly smart and will make you look like an idiot, especially when you are male and are opting to apply to a women's college (do your research, you fools!)

my college campus was pretty diverse, but most of the folks who came from india had been in america for quite some time prior to applying to universities.

i really think that your chances at a scholarship (and acceptance, for that matter), unless you are incredibly smart (which i'm skeptical about given that you've 1. posted this question on ATOT, 2. you seem to have no realistic views in terms of your future, 3. you only started thinking about this now instead of settling in the US and establishing yourself first), are close to zero. you're looking to spend $50,000 USD annually at the minimum. you need to worry about visas, and all that other stuff.

please, jump off the cloud you are floating on. your goals are completely unrealistic unless you REALLY work hard at them, and posting if ATOT was your first stop, you made a big mistake.

ask an american how easy it is to get accepted to an MBA program. it's not like you can jump off the boat and get started. it's a rigorous application process, most of which require you to pay application fees as well (are you looking to spend $100 per app?)

once you're done -- if you get there -- you need to find a job. a career opportunity won't just jump out of a box for you -- you'll have to work for it. i had to wait 6 months before i got my new job, and i worked almost full-time to find a job (applying for one job won't get you anywhere. think thousands of job applications, followed by maybe 5-10 interviews if you're lucky). again, you'll need to worry about a visa after you graduate as well if you plan to stay here.

you may be under this false impression that america is the land of opportunity. any land can be opportunistic if you actually put hard work into it. this is certainly true in america as well.

really now, don't you see how america is trying to outsource its jobs to india? i bet that's what may have partially contributed to my 6 month hiatus when i was looking for a job. america found better opportunities in your country rather than here. i am sure there are plenty of other career opportunities in india than there are in america.

please absorb what i just said, reread what hypn0tik said, and reevaluate what you want to do with your life.

Who said applying to a female college by these guys was an accident? Imagine getting accepted to a college where you are the only male 😀

i knew that question would come up. 😛

my point is that most of the folks who inquire are just mass-emailing a number of universities in hopes of getting accepted somewhere, ANYWHERE. they think it's that easy. they don't pay attention to course offerings or to the student body. they just want to learn in america.

from my expereience having dealt with such emails, it's the same mentality, and these individuals all seem to be from pakistan and india (if i can remember the password to the account, i could even paste some of these emails; i am by no means stereotyping but reiterating facts).

i've never seen an american guy send such an inquiry to this women-only college. those guys just know to apply directly, no questions asked. 😉
