Hello Sir, My Son is pursuing Bachelor of Engineering in Aerospace from Maharashtra and he wants to go to USA for further studies. He wants to avail student loan and complete his M.S. from USA. As the cost is too high for the course, I checked on Internet and found that there are very few jobs for Aerospace Engg. in USA and only US Citizen is allowed to apply for those. Now my son is in a dilemma and is confused if he should even apply for M.S. or prepare for GATE. What are other options for M.S. in other fields (eg. Structural Engineering, Avionics etc)

Ans: Hello Viral,
Both of the Universities are state Universities in the US. You can choose any of the Universities. Also, you will not face any issues related to your job because both Universities offer you STEM-designed courses.

Ans: Hello Haresh,

First and foremost, thank you for getting in touch with us. Congratulations to your son on clearing the NEET! Please do let us know if your son if considering pursuing Engineering abroad or in India.

Ans: Hello Sreekumar,

To begin with, thank you for contacting us. Choosing to pursue a Master of Science (MS) degree in the United States can be a significant decision with several pros and cons to consider. Here are some factors to keep in mind:

Pros:
1. Advanced Education: An MS degree can provide specialized knowledge and advanced skills in a particular field, allowing your son to deepen his expertise and stay competitive in the job market.

2. Career Opportunities: Many employers value candidates with advanced degrees, and an MS can enhance his chances of landing higher-level positions or advancing his career in the software engineering field.

3. Networking: Studying in the US can provide excellent networking opportunities, allowing your son to connect with industry professionals, potential mentors, and fellow students who may become valuable contacts in the future.

4. Research Opportunities: If your son is interested in pursuing research or academia, an MS degree can serve as a stepping stone towards a Ph.D. program and open doors to research positions or teaching opportunities.

5. Exposure to Diverse Perspectives: Studying in the US exposes students to a culturally diverse environment, which can broaden their horizons, foster global awareness, and provide a rich learning experience.

Cons:
1. Financial Considerations: Pursuing an MS degree in the US can be costly, including tuition fees, living expenses, and potentially higher healthcare expenses. It's important to carefully assess the financial implications and explore scholarships, grants, or assistantships to help mitigate costs.

2. Competitive Admissions: Admission to reputable MS programs can be highly competitive, especially in sought-after fields. Your son will need to prepare a strong application, including competitive test scores, letters of recommendation, and a compelling statement of purpose.

3. Temporary Stay: Pursuing an MS degree usually involves a temporary stay in the US on a student visa. It's essential to be aware of the associated visa requirements, potential limitations on employment, and the need to return to one's home country after completing the degree, unless pursuing further work authorization or education.

4. Personal Adjustments: Moving to a different country for studies can be a significant adjustment, including adapting to a new culture, lifestyle, and potentially being away from family and friends. Your son should be prepared for the challenges of living abroad and maintaining a support network.

Ans: Hello Dhwani,

To begin with, thank you for contacting us. Non-US nationals may also work in the aerospace business in the United States through programs viz., the H-1B visa program or other work authorization programs. It is crucial to note that the specific criteria and credentials for working in the aerospace business can vary based on the employer and the job. If your daughter's interests match those of the programs, she can apply for a degree in mechanical engineering as well. Please contact us for more details so that our experienced team can evaluate her profile and guide her accordingly.
