The Programs With The Best Employment Rates

[Ubaidharoon 1]

For some one like me who has had immense difficulties landing a job in the US  after completing my Masters degree, would someone like to talk about programs with the greatest and the least job potential specially for a non-resident.

In my personal experience, tech-based jobs (Masters in Information Systems, Computer Sciences/engineering) have a high rate of employment for non residents. An MBA from a good school is also a sure shot way of getting a job. However, this is not to say that other majors can't get jobs. I did a Public Policy and Management degree and got a few offers. And I didn't even have prior work experience! I think work experience distinguishes a candidate a lot- and I strongly advise getting a few year's worth of experience under your belt before going for a Master's, unless your goal is to aim for a phD.

 

What was your degree in and what do you think were the main factors why you were unable to find a job in the US?
