<p>Your welcome :). As of now they’re h1 holders still…I think? I’m not really keeping up with their immigration status. But they have well paying jobs. Engineering only requires a 4 year degree but if you get a masters (2 years more) then you can get higher salaries and find a job much easier. You could also consider health care fields like nurse (payed almost as well as engineers) or health care management (pay varies greatly). But engineering fields are vast! Software is in the highest demand right now though. Petroleum is the highest paid.</p>
