^ I know it will be hard this time around but I'll wait a bit until the economy picks up. Though, I don't mind going back to school and taking my masters in the states. The best bet really is to go to school there and they'll grant you a visa and a temporary work permit. Then just find a job after and have the employer do the rest.
