Is a Master s Abroad Still Worth It for Indians in 2026

In this video, I share my honest perspective as someone who moved from India to the U.S. for a Master’s in Computer Science, worked at Amazon and Meta, and has seen the study-abroad path from the inside.

Studying abroad can still be life-changing, but admission is only the entry. The real question is whether the degree leads to a job, visa path, salary, and stability that justify the loan and risk.

Before taking a big education loan or accepting an admit, think through the full picture: university, job market, visa uncertainty, loan repayment, and your backup plan.
