Munny,

I do not know about NY or NY state.  But, in Texas, if you work on campus, you pay in-state tuition as opposed to out-of-state or international tuition.  That translate into a huge discount.

<<this topic is to ENCOURAGE people to come to USA to work, don't scare people off..>>

No, I do not think so.  People should have a REALISTIC view of what it takes to survive in USA.  I do not encourage people to come to USA and work unless they are WILLING to work VERY VERY HARD.  Competition is VERY TOUGH in USA and cost of living is VERY HIGH.

i was in the state 3 year ago after i finish my A.A Degree. ppl call it 2 year college or community college. right now i am thinking to heading back to state again to get a 4 year degree. i was giving up going to 4 year college because of the huge different of tutions fees compare with the Cummunity college. it is like 3-4 times of the tutions fees.
i am really interested on which college will waive the tutions fees after u work for 20 hour in campus, like Munny and Dreamer mention.
I reliased that A.A degree is mean nothing in Malaysia and it wont really help u to being promoted as well.
i really need u guys valaueble advice, tell me where should i start again in the state?
California is a great place and it also is the most expensive place to live, i was study in Santa Clara, Foothill College.
now i am thinking going to the others state that i can affort.

sentlon,

1) You ONLY need to spend 2 more years to get your degree since MANY credits are transferable to 4 years degree.  How many credits are transferable are MORE IMPORTANT to you.  Since this will change the TIME (2 years to 3 years) that you need to get your degree.

2) Find out who you can live with in USA.  Having family / relative that you can live in save A LOT OF MONEY.

3) Every state is different.  Check out state by state.

4) Competition for that kind of job is high.  You MAY NOT be able to get it.  I was lucky.
