Need help with CC and my path (Computer Science)

You are absolutely right about the bachelor degree here instead which is actually free too, and I have really good grades here already. The problem is that I am actually willing to try my best to move to the US, build contacts etc. In my opinion, I would do that best by being in the US from day 1 until eventually taking my masters there. As I just read, it is extremely hard to immigrate to the US and most people just take their masters there and go back. I see it as almost mandatory to be there at a CC and try to get even better grades to actually try to attend one of the top Computer Science universities. The last statement I can’t really see being true, how could that actually be the case, any proof? Because I see the American education as much more viable and predominant than the Swedish university degree. Mostly because here in Sweden everybody gets a degree because it’s free, meanwhile in the US a degree at a good university is always a positive thing considering everybody can’t afford it.

Most international CS graduates who get work visas at desirable employers (not low end IT contracting shops) have master’s degrees from US universities after bachelor’s degrees in their home countries. It is not necessarily true that an international CS graduate with just a US bachelor’s degree will be seen as being any more desirable than one with a US master’s degree after a non-US bachelor’s degree.
