Help me, I want career guidance, please help me ...?
I was a student of Bachelors in Software Engineering back home, its obvious that my majors were Software Engineering. I moved here in USA about 6 months ago. I'm working overnights at Kohl's and make around $230 ($8.75/hour) a week which is barley enough to survive. Now I want to finish my degree from here but the hard part is, to be honest, I'm a below average student. I completed most of my courses with C, C+. I've completed all required subjects (Total of 138+ credit Hrs) but I couldn't complete the Degree Project (6 Credit Hrs) before coming here. I'm confused now, I want to finish my degree but don't know what to do, where to go. Currently I'm living in Rochester, MN. I want to complete some kind of certification to get a better job, one option is to complete a nursing diploma (3 months 6 credit hrs) so I would be able to apply in Mayo clinic to get a job that pays around $14/hour, but its totally different than my educational background. There is a huge IBM facility in Rochester "The Big Blue" but of course they require some degree. So please suggest me any short course that I can do and get a better job and eventually to able complete my SW Eng degree. I'm so much disappointed disheartened and depressed with my current life that you have NO IDEA, I want to be something but cant see a way. I was not serious about my studies in past that's why end up having pathetic CGPA. Please consider my situation, I want to change the course of my life. Take three minutes from your busy life and suggest me something. Tell me about some educational forums, web sites, short courses (like CCNA or MCSE I don't know if they worth having.) whatever you think is good for me. Thank You.

You apply to attend a university. You'll be a transfer student. You should complete your software engineering degree. It will take less time. But it will probably be easire for you to get a nursing job. But if you complete a nursing degree it will take longer to complete. Contact a couple of colleges/universities in your area. You can also apply to the University of Phoenix. They have online classes.

Pick a visa There are basically NINE ways that you can get a visa to live and work in the US: (1) Marriage (or engagement in anticipation of marriage) to a US citizen. (2) You have skills that are in short supply in the US e.g. scientific or medical training. A degree is normally a must. Or you have superior specialist skills with at least 12 years experience. (H visas) (3) You have an Employer who is willing to transfer you - but even the employer has to make a good case for you - so you have to be a manager unless you fall under category (2) above.(L visas) (4) You may get a Green card in the diversity lottery (UK citizens, except N.Ireland, are not generally eligible unless you, your spouse or parents were born abroad or held a different citizenship. (5)You own or buy business (does not get you permanent resident status i.e. no green card)You must be a national of a qualifying Treaty countries. The business must have a minimum value of around $150k (more the better) bearing in mind you will need somewhere to live and with any startup business you will need at least 2 years living money as back up. So a figure of $350k would be a nearer minimum (E-2 visas) (6)You are an "investor" i.e. you have at least US $1m in assets to bring with you. half of that in a few areas. And your background will be investigated to the hilt. (EB-5 visas) (7)You have a close relative (mother, father, brother, sister and no further) who is an US citizen who would sponsor you, approx time this take 2-12 years? (8.The R1 visa is available to foreign members of religious denominations, having bona fide non-profit religious organizations in the U.S., for entering the U.S. to carry on the activities of a minister or religious worker as a profession, occupation or vocation (9)THE UNUSUAL You are in a position to claim refugee status/political asylum. or You get a member of Congress to sponsor a private bill with legislation that applies just to you. The S visa issued to persons who assist US law enforcement to investigate and prosecute crimes and terrorist activities such as money laundering and organized crime Recruitment agent will not take you seriously if you are not already in the US. Writing for jobs is really a waste of time; likewise US employers have no idea what foreign qualification are or mean (except Degrees) it may pay you to get your qualification translated into a US equivalent, there are Companies that do this (www.wes.org) .. But if you are getting a visa under (2) above then you need a job offer before you can get the visa. Your Employer will be your sponsor this will cost them upward of $5k. So you can see you have to be offering something really special to get considered They may also have to prove to the Dept of labor that there is no American who can do the job if the position is to be permanent ©

green card lottery is the best bet. There are not many in demand jobs anymore as there is huge unemployment.
2 :
Your best chance is to learn Spanish and pretend to be a Mexican, then if you commmit a crime no one can check your ID. But seriously, IT is a good field. I would say anything in Engineering would be the best. Obviously you know that it helps to get into a field that gives away a lot of H1B visas. If you are good at Math and get a degree in that, it helps as well. Just don't get an Art or Philosophy degree, or a Finance degree. And as the first answer mentioned, there is the Green Card Lottery. You can apply for it every year if you want, but you just missed the cutoff for this year's process.

Can you help me with this doubt
Can you help me with this doubt?
Hi: I came from Nicaragua and we have different education system than USA does. But, everything that I did in 5 years in my last High school (in my country) was equal to 1.40 GPA...... When I came, I met the requirements to become a Senior... So, I began to attend to the high school like Senior in 2009. I had to go to the high school to improve my GPA in 2009..... I got really good grades, I just got 3-C, 3 - A, and 2-B , 1 - B-. Now my GPA is 1.80.... I DON"T KNOW WHY!.... I found out that my GPA was going to be something like 2.10 in this year with those grades I got. I will attend again to the High school to get better GPA.... But, I will not have good GPA to attend to any college and my dream is to become a nurse..... So, I decided to go to the military because they will pay my education..... but..... my GPA will not be enough to get in to college..... So, the next question is: Does the military teach you nursing without attending to any college to become a certificated nurse in their own college? What can I do to get my degree through the military? Now I have to decide what to do with my life.... I don't want to work at Honda making car for all my life!... I want to get my degree, master and PHD. PS: I am so sorry for my English.... My national language is Spanish.... Have a nice day :)

With a situation like yours I'm not quite sure if military is your best bet. There are many nursing schools here in the U.S that do not even require a high school education. In fact many colleges allow enrollment without high school diploma, some just a GED. No the military is not a college, although they have college programs for active duty personnel. I am not 100% sure about your situation but the military is a little more competitive than some nursing schools and with your nationality that might be a problem. Talk to a recruiter dont take my word for it -Good luck to you.
