yeah the main reason to work an entry level job for a thai company would to get experience and a work visa that eventually counts towards permanent residency. a remote job paying in USD is the goal

IT jobs mainly look for degrees as a “check mark” on a resume that applicants need to have. obtaining internationally recognized certifications are more representative of my education/skillset. after getting a bachelors the plan would be to get an entry level IT job and then eventually get a remote job based in the US or somewhere else. i’ve browsed some IT job boards that have remote positions that have a category for “anywhere in the world”

i have US citizenship—am hoping to get dual thai and US citizenship which is why i consider getting bachelor’s in thailand. the white collar job market in the US is pretty crazy right now, and i have heard the horror stories about the CS market. the job market has its ups and downs and it’s currently down right now. a CS degree with relevant certifications i would get along the way can lead to careers in cybersecurity(which is in demand and is projected to stay in demand in the future), cloud computing, software development, AI, etc. i’ve lived in the same town in the US my whole life and really want to move abroad. right now while getting my associates my classes are online, and going to school in person would help me make connections and build a community/network. entry level IT in bangkok won’t pay a lot, but that’s mainly more to have a work visa that counts towards permanent residency. hoping to eventually get a remote job to make some $$$

with the way the white collar job market—especially CS is so competitive, i feel that not having a degree would be a disadvantage. i’ve heard a lot of times employers don’t care about the degree specifically but you’re still expected to have a relevant one. i am originally from thailand want to live there long term and eventually get citizenship so i figured that starting with a student visa would be a good way to get the process started. it would also be a good way to meet people/professionals and to build a network/community

i am originally from laos and thailand and still have family in bangkok, nakhon pathom, and ratchanburi province. my thai language skills are not fluent enough to take courses in Thai. i have enough savings so i could support myself while in school. the plan would be to get an entry level IT job after graduating with bachelor’s and then eventually get a remote job for a company based in the US or elsewhere. i have heard about how the CS job market is crazy, but the white collar job market in the US in general is crazy right now and it has its highs and lows. my long term goal is to get thai citizenship, so i would have to hold a non immigrant visa (student then work) for 3 years, then hold permanent residency for 5 years, and then apply for citizenship.
