Job expectations for UIUC graduate

[ajcastrog]

Hello, I am an international student. I am a Civil Engineer that will be starting on the spring semester my graduate studies to get a MS in Civil Engineering (Transportation) at University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign.

UIUC has a great program that has been ranked among the US top 3 for civil Engineering the last couple of years (Actually #2). I would be interested in starting a professional carreer in the US once I complete my studies. My expectation is to obtain the MS degree just by the time I am 30. What kind of job, salary or lifestyle do you think I could aspire to once I am done with my graduate studies, considering I am a foreigner and also that my degree will come from a top 3 program.
