                                      For IT professionals: Roles in the IT industry are evolving rapidly, and one is now expected to have a better understanding of analytics.

                                      Can international students work to pay for their educational expenses?

                                      Although there are a limited number of part-time, on-campus jobs for international students, the income from these jobs is only sufficient to provide “pocket money”; you will not earn enough income to pay for a significant portion of your educational expenses. The U.S. government prohibits international students from working outside the University.
