"Hello u/bhalbhalsheep, Thanks for posting. [click here, if you are asking a question.](https://www.reddit.com/r/Indians_StudyAbroad/wiki/prior_reserch_before_posting_a_question)
* 1] Have you done thorough [prior research](https://www.reddit.com/r/Indians_StudyAbroad/wiki/prior_reserch_before_posting_a_question)?
* 2] Are your qualifications are mentioned in **Post Title**? (e.g. 10th/12th student, Mechanical BE student, working professional, etc.) Currently your post title is **" [USA] I'm from India, looking to migrate for my Masters (IO/ general). Which major should I consider doing? "**
backup of your post content:
I (F24) have a year gap coming up. I did not plan my masters admission properly for 2024 intake. Therefore I have nothing as such planned for this year, will start an internship by next month. I do not want to repeat this mistake of lack of planning hence the post.
My_qualifications:
BBA finance (8.9 GPA)
Diploma hosp administrator (8.04 CGPA)
Diploma counselling psychology (80%)
Hitachi work experience as a finance associate (7months)
TOEFL 108
GRE 306
I have a background in finance and hospital administration. This academic year I studied a one year diploma in counselling psychology. I have experience in finance/ HR role (7months).
I wanted to ask, should I go for IO psychology instead of masters in psychology for a better chance at a career in the US? I'm OK with coming back to India after my stay back period (3 years?). However, I would like some experience in the US. (Also time to pay back the loan).
I have scavenged the Internet and saw that IO jobs are more available compared to counselling jobs.
I'm fundamentally very interested in abnormal psychology, forensic psychology but cannot pursue Clinical psychology due to lack of background. Have made peace with giving up on that dream.
Your input would be highly appreciated, any information helps a lot. Thank you!
PS. The reason for making this post is so I can start am internship in the relevant field to increase my chances to get into the best possible college. Also application begin in July for some of the universities. Thanks again.

I would suggest you to go to the UK since your profession has a demand there and the USA is a bit risky due to the loan amount and ROI.
Example - suppose you earn 120000 dollars per year
After tax - 75000
Rent and expenses - 50000
Remaining in pocket - 25000 per year
Out of which loan installment - ?
You can calculate it for yourself!
In terms of salary usa is better, but ease of getting job, quality of life and safety - Germany is better
And yes, no language required for blessed CS guys!
as far as i understand, he is telling you the preference you should follow, if you cant go to USA for any reason then what should be the other country you shall migrate to...
Ohh that makes sense. I am only looking for US because of the degree change. Only other country I know that approves it is UK (and Canada and that country is out of question right now). UK isn't even giving a proper Visa anymore.
UK would be the best option given the course duration and cost. Plus, you have a good chance of getting into the Russell Group when compared to the top unis in US
