And don’t assume that the current immigration policy is going to continue for the next five years (assuming OP is still in HS). With an “America First” administration in power, I don’t expect every aspect of our current visa/green card protocol to continue. There are loud voices claiming that non-native born people are taking jobs away from “Americans”. Not being political here- but stating what their messaging has been. They believe that current visa programs disadvantage American citizens.
So do NOT choose a major based on OPT status today!!! Do not!!!
