MS in US---$ dreamzzzz

Each year thousands of students come to US universities from India and China.
Due to the visa problems that the chinese people have, generally they come with a jumbo plan of completing their Phd(of course they are either married or come here and do love marriage here in US itself) and even if possible post-doc before going back to their home country(assuming that they do go back). This part of chinese story was actually narrated by one of my chinese students. So as most of the chinese students come to US with an I20 of Phd, they mostly get financial assistance, as the US supports any kind of reserach and are ready to literally go to any extent to have the Phd guys in their kitty. So far so good...ok good for chinese students....

PS1:This is how I see the chinese student's situation to be in general and pardon me if I am gravely wrong which I dont think I am.

Now, being an Indian I suppose I can give a much better picture of an Indian student's mindset who come to USA, and their travails here. Mostly Indians come to US with dollars in mind. They use the opportunity to come to US to make fast money and go back home and enjoy that hard(eerrr...not sure...) earned money. But here there a few exceptions too who have just the highly ranked US univs in mind and hope to make it as big as a nobel laureaute(pardon me if any spelling mistake) and whose main aim is to satisfy their ego by publishing as many papers as they can....
Ok taking the democractic notion into consideration, I shall go ahead and elaboarte more on the former students situation(Lets call him Dollar Guy=DG actaully here Guy can be taken in literal sense as very low percentage of female graduates come here ...again this is a debatable point or say publishable article why not girls??). DG joins enggg (in most of the cases ....again this is a point which I hope to publish in my later articles..why Enggg?), . In 3rd year or so takes hold of barrons book as a child holds of ABC's book. writes the GRE exam and applies in mostly a random way to US univs.completes his Enngineering, goes to visa interview and even though he has no interest in a Masters in Science lands in USA due to the pressure from society or from within himself may be to earn money in a FF mode. Ok so he just shuts his brain off and so does his parents who are ready to shell off lacs now thru loans for a golden future.
By this time the DG guy has only one thing in mind to do MS and earn Bucks, bcoz he thinks thts how his life would be very sweet later. And may be his latent talent is burried at this point only and creativity kicked off. The moment he lands in USA he might feel very ecstatic but in a day or two he finds no hidden pleasures here either which he thinks when he was back in India. He starts to feel homesick though he might have gud circle of desis around. He starts questioning his decision. He starts to kick his own ass.
And to make the situation worse, he came for MS and US univs dont give them that royal treatment that a Phd guy gets and so he has to struggle for tht assistanship to clear the loan that he has taken and also not to borrow another sem's loan. He prints a dozen of resume and goes to alllllll depts, even depts which are in no way related to his course of study. He feels visceral abt this when he returns empty hand by evening. He struggles like this and finally makes it into some position or may be not!!!. But he finally does his MS may be on a credit frm citibank. By now he feels US is no fancy a place to be in, and tht India was far far gud(after all home is home dudes!!!). But wht to do he has loans back home to clear and also he started off frm India to return as a rich man. So again something comes in between and he joins a consultant and gets a Job. And as he gets job parents back home might feel its time to get my son married. And may be this poor DG might even end up marrying hoping for a better life....dudes marriage...ooops the story doesnt get any better i suppose. And now its time for parents to C USA. After all they are his parents and he wants to please his dear parents.Parents come but they dont like the atmosphere here either feel it gud to stay in India and return back. Jr DG might be procreated in the mean time....and somewhere by this time the couple feel much easy to stay here only then to go to India and make their parents visit them to USA regularly....

PS2:
But guys doesnt somewhere this DG miss a lots of things????????back at home....
He knew by the end of MS tht home is home but still he acts like a hypocrite to himself and doesnt live the life he wants to ....the joyous life... the life with parents, relatives and of course dearest frnds.
And he might be feeling each day that his decision is not the one he wanted to take....
DG might be thinking of a different story altogether back in India.....
Is it worth all this????
Is MS in US a big trap after all??
So do u wanna be this DG?
I hope not.

PS3:This I suppose is the story of many DG's but listen to ur hearts and take the right decision...after all life is a life to be LIVED and not whiled away.
