Hi IL’s
Hope you all are doing well. I wanted to share my scenario and seek help from you or your suggestions. If any of you are in the same boat then I would love to know what are your plans. If any of you got out of such a scenario and are successful now then please do share the path you took.
I came to the USA 10 years ago. Since childhood, I was a very dynamic go getter and got success at everything like extra activities, sports etc. I did my engineering in CS and MBA. Got married to my husband who had done his masters in the USA and was working. Since I was so well qualified, I had no doubt that I would get a job in the USA. Everyone in India before marriage kept telling me – USA is a land of opportunities and for your qualifications, you will fly even further in your life. With all those dreams I came to the USA on H4 visa. When I landed here reality hit. Tried very hard to get jobs, but no luck, especially since getting H1B visa was so tough.
Life has been like a prison, sitting within 4 walls for so many years. Upon that, betrayal from both sides family for no reason of mine. Do not wanna even get into telling of any of that what they did. So, I have lost my self-confidence. I do not feel like telling people that I have done such good degrees.
Now I have my green card. I do not know where to start at this point. I want to work in management field since I have MBA. What would you suggest ?
  1. Do I have to do some masters again in the USA ? to get a job ?
  2. 2. Would doing MBA again in the USA get me a job ?
  3. I am also interested in Accouting and Finance. Will doing Masters in those areas get a job ? The area where I live has lots of banks and financial firms.
  4. Or do I start working in administrative jobs to eventually proceed into management ?
  5. Or do I start working at retail stores like Macy’s, Target, Walmart etc ? Working here can I get into other companies eventually ?
  6. I think about starting my own kids clothing business some times.

I am sure there will be so many people out there who have gone through this phase in life and might have done something to emerge themselves out. Please share your experiences here and advice me what would be the best path to begin my career from ground zero.
Appreciate you all reading my post.
Thank You.
