Future Aspirations

Once I graduate from UCLA Berkeley I hope to find a job to support my family back in India. This is the ultimate goal for many of the students who come here for higher education and eventually a job. I plan to major in Computer Science due to my fascination with newer technology. People always roll their eyes when I tell them this which is frustrating but cannot be helped. Almost all IT jobs within the U.S. are now outsourced to India due to cheaper labor. Like many families in India, my family back in India consists of many people. Although the average household Indian household in the U.S. has 3.8 members the number is much higher back in India. Because of the high exchange rate and the fact that Indian males make an average of $51,094 per year, I believe that I can support my family well.
