Hello!!
I saw your inquiry about Finance and that drew my attention and thought of writing my views.
Before that let me tell you I used to be in US and I know the problem of International Students (specially in Management, Business, Finance etc). It is hard to get jobs in these field and that is why to avoid returning back to Nepal we all try to stick into higher education and end up doing courses which we may not like or which isn't necessary. Doing so, gets us into more debt and that isn't the real solution. All we are doing is: postponing the real game of going into job market and making real cash.
I know with international student status we can't work on our own without a work permit.. we need a sponsor and so on..Staying in US, we get so used to the culture of America that we want to make it here..no matter what!!
But based on my experience I would highly recommend you to try for Canada. There is hardly much difference between these two countries and I have seen many neglecting Canada. PR application is quite fast when you apply from US and since I have seen both the countries..believe me you won't regret.
I myself work for a Bank and am happy with it. Within a year I bought my home..it took approx. six months for me to get this job and survival jobs is also really easy to get..i know the pay is not as great as US..but the real deal is to save with what you make. There are 100's of reason why choosing Canada for you would be advisable and the sooner you start the better. So, instead of wasting time for studying Masters and then Ph. D, I hope it will be better if you apply for Canada.. for nobody will give you a job based on your transcript or qualifications and the higher level you go without any plan, you will regret more.
Most of the time in North American countries what I see is.. you have to start from an entry level which requires no more than Bachelors degree and you can always move up if you work hard!! I rarely see any posting with requirement of Masters without any experience. So, to build up this experience you need to start with the process of getting a job and for that you need a status (permanent) which Canada is willing to offer faster than US. Also let me remind you that you get your Canadian Citizenship within 3 years.
Anyways, I wish you all the best for your career ahead. Lastly, I am not trying to say US isn't worthy..I love the country and have learnt a lot from my stay.. but my only point is to say that instead of going through hassle of so many complicated process it would be easier for you to reach your goals if you go my way...for you will atleast get your PR if you get your visa..and even if you don't get jobs in finance you can always work on your own.
