Agreed.
But I cannot speculate your unique situation. If you have F1 / OPT and status related challenges while at the same time being an average student and is facing the challenge of financing a college course. These combo of challenges will make my opinion sound a bit hypocritical. But the point that many fellow Sajhaites are trying to make is that College Education may not be a guarantor of Jobs.
Coursera, Udemy and edX are giving traditional college courses a run for their money. But research have shown that success in a Coursera classroom relies largely on your previous Classroom based educations (traditional colleges).
If you are a smart and academically successful student, based on your past performance, than conventional state and private colleges are superb choices.
TL;DR - Maintain status by taking a cheap course but do a Master's' Degree. Explore the basics of and specialization thereof in IT by taking online and self paced courses for Free.
