I'll be short and precise. I'm from India, Im pursuing a B.E. (Engineering) degree in Civil and Environmental field (which I donmt have any special liking for) from one of the more reputed institutes of South India.
As much as I hate the field( civil, I took it up for lack of options as much as to be called a graduate), I love entrepreneurship.
I'm furiously interested in setting something up all by myself (and I want to do just that!)
And now the dilemma. It's easy, people, for me to pass my course with a good GPA (civil is easy too, in addition, competition is not that much) and thereby (with a hopefully fine GRE score) securte a seat in a MS course in US (in civil too)...just pls wait a second, Im explaining...so that after 2 more years of additional poison drinking I might get a chance to start up something (any enterprise) where else but in US...and fulfil my desire of being an entrepreneur in a developed country. (for the understandably worried Americans out there, I DONT need your job...I wanna come and give YOU a couple of dozen or so ...all on my free sweat blood and toil...trying to generate employment, that is as much as one person can...)
OR, I stay on here in India completing just my BE , try and get some finance, fight or atleast struggle with all the red tape and and get started up. I wouldnt have to waste two years over something I detest soo totally....MS is an option becuz thats the only proper channel through which I can enter any developed country, like America (for availing the better lifestyle and adding as much as one person can to the system).
Magazines here shout India is booming...economy 's growing, cheap labour, eight percent GDP incremnet and all.But 8 pc out of 500Bn dolls is nuffink to even 3pc (americas rate???) out of some 8000 Bn Dolls (US' GDP). Plus I believe a lot less competition....cuz population is less there)
Bottomline is I just want to do something on my own...which needs to grow at the best rate that is...whereever its possible. Overall which option is good?
I also think we can make things here (India, due to the cheap labour and evrything) and export....though there are ills accompanying)
ADDITIONAL QUERIES, IF MY DECISION FALLS RIGHT ON THE US MS SIDE, AS i SEE IT LEANING CONSIDERABLY TO THE WEST:
Will I need to maintain a high grade COMPULSORILY (thereby DIRECTLY affecting my extra curricular work and other things) to get a job at the end or even to merely stay on there.
Will it be easy getting a job with a BE (civil), MS (civil), and if so, in whatever fields...computer sciences too or just the civil...
Do most people stay or are they just sent packing after the course...
Will the pay be at par with the prevailing standards...whats the real
deal...
Will I be at the mercy of the employer and his whims and all...is
exploitation rife...
I dont expect it to be like Mtv, but what about the racism...
Will I have to invest time heavily in the MS curriculum or will it be easy cake walk. People Ive talked to say its just an average course and people do get a lot of time free...
Will I have to take up trite jobs (helping the library or labs) simply to survive...
What must we do to be definitely sent packing after the course...can we hit and injure some deserving, uncouth soul.
MY RELATIVELY MAIN POINTS AGAIN:Can we start some enterprise thing immediately after our MS , can we do it simultaneously or is a green card required.
Ive read a lot on the US Visa websites and all, but actually in real life, how much time and what all things they ask for, to give you a green card?
What abt other developed countries,read Western parts of Europe
Australia/New Zealand etc How about Canada...is it easier enrolling and staying there afterwards or is it as they say, a cold country with little activity...dull and not lucrative?
Kindly reply in whichever way YOU want to, to this post. At the other end, someone wants to read something...anything.
Why not try and make this the longest thread anywhere in the world, with everone, even, simply, telling their names!
Do Post, it counts!!!!
