Don't expect to make money with a high school degree. Jobs are physical for most high school graduates and pay is low. Having seen people work in the Ocean city, I do not advise people to go for such work. A college degree makes a great difference in your pay. Since you have a green card, go for a college degree for now and work part time to pay for your college.(I am assuming that you go to some cheap universities). Top liberal arts colleges are pretty expensive.
