<p>We’ll, your chances of getting accepted seem pretty good. But once you’ve earned ur degree, will you be moving back to India to pursue a career there? Well the reason I ask is because the US job market is in a sorry state, as graduates cannot find jobs to support themselves, let alone pay off their student debt. Why would anybody want to make such a big investment of time and money if it’s not going to pay off?</p>
