I actually cover some international migration in the scholar essay. I also concern that if I could find a job upon graduation. Based on my research, if you are in science, technology, or engineer field, you can feel less worried about your job market. Currently, there is still high demand for PhD students in science, technology and engineering in the U.S. and globally. Additionally, not many local students have PhD degree in science and engineering. I am not sure about the higher education of civic engineering in your country of origin. What do you think why your friend did not end up in the field related to civic engineering?

Thanks for sharing the information. It struck me as well! This reminds me that the diversity of students on campus. Not all of students are coming from middle or upper class. And sometimes it may be difficult for students who struggle financially. Not only they were struggle with hunger, but their social life may be impacted. But do you know that VT has Campus kitchen right now? Campus kitchen serve food for students who struggle with hunger.

Just out of curiosity. How do professors get paid since the higher education is free for students in Egypt? Do professors in Egypt get paid less than other countries?
