Meanwhile, I know of German and Dutch peers of mine who upon completing their masters in Europe, enrolled in California to do a second Masters ( at the time I believe they paid in the range of $100k) for the VISA and internship opportunities. And IIRC, the bet paid off because they all found employment in California, with salaries 3x to 4x what they could get here.
- thatfrenchguy 2y agoMasters in the US are essentially diploma mills for OPT work authorizations

- esafak 2y agoThat just means they needed the degree to get an opportunity to work in the US. This is really a tax.

- dachworker 2y agoTheir parents paid taxes like everyone else. If anything I would say it is unfair, that they are forced to move to the US, because the imbeciles in power mismanaged the economy so much that there are few adequate jobs for them, and the local Germany/Dutch economy is not competitive on the world stage.
