How to pay for Masters in the US

[QUOTE="iampaul, post: 5503569, member: 337558"] I am a US citizen. I was born in New York but I grew up in the Philippines. I am planning to take my Masters in Electrical Engineering specializing in IC design or Control Systems in the US, but when I checked the tuition/fees I learned that it would take a crazy amount of time to save up that much money. I've seen 35k plus dollars tuition at the university of california for non-resident students. That's 1.6M philippine pesos. My monthly salary as a test engineer is just 25k philippine pesos per month(540 USD). I am planning to take up my Masters to boost my chances of being accepted in an IC design position in the US or as a control/guidance systems engineer in aircaft companies. Since saving up for my Masters in the US is 'impossible', I'm planning to just save up for my ticket to the US which costs about 100k philippine pesos, while maybe taking up my Masters here in EE which is way cheaper (1000 pesos per unit) . I doubt this masters degree from the Philippines will get me a good job, but I am hoping that at least it would improve my chance of getting admitted into a graduate program, and to help prepare me for my Masters in the US. I am thinking of applying for TA,RA ,fellowship programs and even student loans to help pay for my masters. Do you have any other recommendations? Thanks [/QUOTE]
