Sat Sri Akal ji,
I just moved to US for studying (rigorous Physics & CS student as a background). Almost everybody suggested me to study in Canada instead due to factors like - affordable education, healthcare, work opportunities, and reachable residence that can help me escape from bad conditions I used to have in my home country. However, I chose US as I had good study 4.0 GPA and nice extra curriculars.
It has been months that I am not able to sleep well and just thinking all the time on how will I pay for education. US doesn't allow students to work off-campus. My college has near to no jobs, I got a night job that only pays ~$38 per week.
The nearest Gurudwara near me is about 45.6 miles (~73.4 KM).
I thought of asking my fellow Gursikhs for advice on what should I do? I expect only to have funding for 3 years of education in US if we sold every property we own and utilizing my dad's 70% of income.
I really don't know why I came, I could have gone to Canada instead but I have hope that it'll be fine. A US degree would provide more opportunities in future. But in present, Canada sounds an affordable option.
I would really like to request my Gursikh veers and bhenjis to please provide me an advice on what should I do. My parents are currently hesitant for me to transfer to a Canadian college because I expressed tons of interest in US universities and they feel like I am trying to save money.
