Re: What should I do in future? Can I get work VISA without degree?
Hi kunalht, I can give you my personal series of study references. Keep in mind it is my own study path, not what every TA should know.

This. I hired quite a few junior TAs from college with a computer science background.

Re: What should I do in future? Can I get work VISA without degree?
Yes, i still in Software Engineering. What will i do in 1 year? The best scenary is that i found an indie game company with some friends, which we are working on now.
