But as far as I know, credits from community colleges cannot be directly applied to graduate schools. Be sure to complete four years of college credits. And your undergraduate professor must write a letter of recommendation to apply for the graduate school of the school. Going to a community college for two years is not enough.
As for the part-time job of international students, the time in a week cannot exceed 40 hours.
Moreover, since 9 1 1, the United States has very strict control over international students, and international students are not allowed to work outside the home. The only place to work is to apply for a legal work permit from the school, and the scope of work can only be in the school, such as: teacher assistant, or library management and other related positions. The salary is not very high, 8 yuan an hour, and tax is deducted. After that, it's 6 yuan an hour.
At the same time, you have to apply for a tax return number. The application procedure is very troublesome, and the school has to assess your grades. Is the GPA above 3.0? If you don't meet the standard, I'm sorry. Please prepare your grades before applying for a job.
If you don't apply for a job according to normal procedures, it's called a black job. If caught by immigrants, they may be sent back to China, unable to continue their studies, or fined. The gain is outweighed by the loss. This kind of work is basically going to a restaurant in China and getting paid directly. Super hard, no time to study.
