The US is one of those countries where there is no shortage of jobs, and they recruit people all the time. And there is a lot of scope to grow as a professional. And the salary here is a bonus. There are a lot of roles in the IT industry.

Class Schedule

There are usually 6 classes in a week if you have 3 subjects and if the subjects are less there will be fewer classes. The load is pretty much low most of the time except for some classes. There is a lot of time for you to get your assignments done.

Faculty

The faculty-to-student ratio is one of the best in the country cause there are fewer international students in the university when compared to other top universities. Some of the faculties do help you in getting part-time.

The Indian students get paid $13 an hour typically in the finding halls of the campus. It is pretty easy to get a part-time in campus. You can apply online through some campus portals like Aramark.

The pay for assistants is $24 per hour and getting them in depends on the branch you choose. Every school has a different process to get them. Some of them choose TA’s directly and some of them approach professors for the jobs.
