Going to US in Tough Economy

I had an interesting discussion with my friends today. Few of my friends are still not sure of they want to go to U.S. in this economy. They are not sure if job will be available after completing M.S.

I did read few articles that say economy will be good in 1-2 years time. That's when I will be going to US for education. But, in any case, US education is much better than studying in India. 

I'm going to make all possible attempt to get good score in GRE, TOEFL and then comes University selection, Student Visa and much landing in U.S.

So, its easy to say the steps involved, but its takes lots time and effort to get things done on time. So, the road to U.S. goes through GRE Exam.
