other than nursing and computer science, there is no promising pathways for international students unfortunately .

dentist from nepal mostly end up as dental assistant for life , lawyers end up as paralegal ( lekhandas ) , professors , lecturers , civil engineers , mechanical engineers , microbiologists all end up as gas station worker or real estate agent in usa .

to be able to live comfortably in USA , you have to make at least 120 K a year and as an international student only IT graduates and some nurses'( Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists, travel nurses) make that sort of money straight out of college .

CUNY in nyc is affordable university .
