Hi there, I'm a South African. Next year I will be a first year student, but after my studies in about 5years I would like to go to America to get some experience and make a bit more money than I will in S.A. I just want to know, if I study something like Dietetics, Town and Regional planning or Law, will I be able to get a job in the US? Or will it not happen since I got my degree in S.A.

Thank you for any help.
Annie.

These are good questions to be asking your college, who can help you forecast job outlooks. Anything in the law and heathcare sectors looks like they will ocntinue to grow over the next few decades but your college should be able to help you more with this. Ask at the career center.

Hi Annie,

If were you I would do an online search for jobs in the field I want to.Try to contact some recruiters in the U.S and get my resume evaluated, also I would get some advice from them. Thats their job and I am sure they can help you. Since you are a graduate from S.A I think people here will take you as a candidate with not a lot of work experience since u did not work in the US. So, you can go through some college recruiting sites or fresh grad hiring sites. This one is a good one for students and fresh grads. College Recruiting
A lot of online research helps and at the same time use your own university's professor's advice.
Hope this helps.
Goodluck!

There is a possibility it might not happen just because your degree isnt from the US.
